Yggdrasil (the Mother Tree)

from A Less than Perfect Peach by Blue Genes

lyrics

you'd think if i grew anymore roots i'd turn into a tree
but tell me how else there is to be near the sea
i am and remain amazed at the scene change
in a sacred place, a red-wooded space, an owl turned it face

beneath a branch the first kiss as the tower tolled
and then she lent me her limbs to burn in turn as the night churned
and it was a hard fire to start and harder to snuff out
but i kept a spark to light my way through the dark parts

i watched as you walked away, that sacred sway
an my heartbeat now matches the way your hips waved good-day
n it's hard to explain what i lost, did it have a cost
but through the pain i can see that a callus has been gained
