lyrics

Muse Tree #1
From "The Muse Tree (Demos)"
Julean and the Rai (as Julian Rai)
Copyright 2003 Julian D. Rai (BMI)

You are only to be a tree
On which the muses come to feed.

VERSE I
Awaking
Forgetting
Just where I was sleeping...
Reach out to
Move the curtain
For daylight.

VERSE II
Arising
And leaving
Inside, I
Am singing
These muses made me
And saved me.

VERSE III
Like water
I'm spilling
Yet, grateful
I'm still here
This year has
Aged me
Greatly.

VERSE IV
Same people
No reason
They come, and
She's leavin'...
Decide,
Forget the answer...
Forget her.

VERSE V
These friends are
In passing
Not sacred
Not lasting...
It's all detaching ...
Preparing.

VERSE VI
For Dayton,
Ohio
Muse give me
Asylum.
Pieces and guidance.
An exit.

VERSE VII
Politely
Declining.
