Gentle On My Mind

You’re gentle on my motley mind

Unexpectedly so

You’re skipping through my dippy dreams

More than you’ll ever know

You’re tucked up in my hippy heart

In ways I cannot show

You’re gentle on my mossy mind

Unquestionably so

 

I know I had to leave

Yet still I’m asking why

Was it the fear of waves?

The echo of the sky?

Did phantoms from the past

Cast shadows in my eye?

I know I had to leave

The question remains why?

 

You’re bubbling up in spritely springs

Unpredictably stirred

You’re trickling through in synchro songs

I scarcely knew I’d heard

You’re sprouting in the cranial cracks

Of conversations blurred

You’re bubbling up in sparkling springs

Undeniably stirred

 

I left you with no choice

With so much left to say

Did I kill the magic?

Did I darken the day?

Did I exit the wings

Three Acts into the play?

I left you with no choice

There’s more I want to say

 

You’re gentle on my moorless mind

Inexplicably so

You’re twirling round my dappled dreams

And brightening as you go

You’re locked safe in my happy heart

Until the day I show

You’re gentle on my misty mind

Incandescently so
