Lucky Lee

from These Golden Threads by Gun Mother

lyrics

I can’t keep my mind from turning
In this pale and lonesome room
Every day collapsed together
Skips along the waning moon

Where I find the shining face of Lucky Lee
Who sits among the roses and the reeds
Who has seen the world on fire and still believes

There is beauty in every notion
Be it kind or unkind
And we are mere survivors
On the ocean of goodbyes

It's the castaways that find a slight reprieve
The quiet moments when once the storm released
Drapes gently down upon Lucky Lee

I’ll hold on to this day for every day
I’ll string this sigh across all noise
I’ll bear this belief like none has bore
I’ll hold on to this day for every day

For Lucky Lee

Amongst the shadows,
The shelters and the leaves.
Amongst the squalor
And the swelter and
The fates the sing together
And the hands that come together over me
and Lucky Lee

I know these fingers fondly
I have worn them like a crown
And I basked in the reunion
When the end was coming down

In the shards of glass the universe is born
The broken dreams are swallowed up by vine
And the lights between, I keep them here with mine

I would long for you, my darling
Buried 10 ft underground
I love to watch your light expanding
When the spring cometh around

Where I find the shining face of Lucky Lee
Who sits among the roses and the reeds
Who has seen the world on fire and still believes
