Susannah & the Witch in the Mirror

When I look in your eyes
I see walls and gardens
from the other side
in a haze of perfection
under a crystal sky as bright
and remote as the dreams
of a world you preferred to forget
all about, so it seems

I'm in love with the world
in your eyes, with the radiant lights
of your intimate universe
There once was a curse
but it's gone, yes it's gone
It's been taken away to where
it belongs – to the land without hope,
without daylight or music
or beauty and songs of affection
and tenderness.
Good riddance I guess...
Good riddance I guess...

Did you know
there’s a place in the sky where old butterflies go
When they try to remember their days of prosperity

When I look in your eyes
I see renaissance dreamscapes
from the other side
under a sparkling renaissance sky
of perfect lazulia blue.
And I may be in love with you.
I may be in love with you.
It's a matter of how to consider
the things that you say and the things that you do
and still we'll never know why...

Have you been
to the place in the sky where old butterflies try
to remember the moments they've shared
when they're ready to die?

Thanks for still following me. I feel like I've been too quiet for too long, but I'm still working on songs. Trying to get on with the blues album (City Witch Blues) these days, although I'm a bit stuck now because of vocal problems due to flu - common flu, not covid - and sort of spring depression. Last week I finished 'John Bottle the Bastard (and his evil wife)'. The song I'm working on right now is called 'Blue & Bluer', but I have to wait for better times, vocally, to get it finished. Anyway, thanks again for listening and giving me moral support; with lots of love,

Susannah
