Straw Into Gold

I wonder if you sleep right now

Do you realize I'm clinging to

The edge of this bed I have

Nowhere to go--I have nowhere

If I leave, you'll call me 'quitter'

If I stay, you'll punish me with silence, and somehow

You'll fall asleep...you'll fall asleep



Well, do you know that I won't sleep

No, I won't sleep all night long

As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon

I'm mezmorized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this leprechaun's wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I'll try to cash in clovers for gold



So, I'll light a candle and begin to write

Turn to my work as a refuge

Though my womb is a rush-hour taxi ride

But I will try

To metamorphose pain along my plight

But I'll despise each word I write

So I am clinging to the

Edge like some soap-opera star

With her ten second fade

As the light cascades

Do you love me anymore?



Well, do you know that I won't sleep

No, I won't sleep all night long

As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon

I'm mezmorized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this Rumpelstiltskin's wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I'll try to cash in clovers for gold



I'll try to spin straw into gold

Straw into gold...straw into gold...straw into gold

Spinning for mercy

Spinning for hope

Spinning for love

Spinning for gold
