Venus as Appearances - Ferron

She told me about a silver lake tucked tight

Behind a rock face

Your basic demons tell you fools come late

(I thought maybe I should go)

I had my reasons but they left me in the night

Where the quiet meets the cracking of a heartbreak

Some mountains you can wander in the night

And some mountains you’re not supposed to know.

It’s like… some people got their wild wild hearts

And some others bide their time until they meet them

When co ordinates are disappearing stars

Maps can’t help you can’t believe them

You need good vision, clear water in your flask

And time to feel the surging of your heart beat

Your best companion is the one who’s gonna ask about

Your soul-lined connection to your foolish feet.

Some mountains you can wander in the dark

(What you know, what you don’t)

Some moments are a circus in the park

-- there’s no free rides --

I’ve met the desert with it’s hot dry wind

I know pain… I get enough through predilection…

A hundred people want to tell you where they’ve been

A hundred others want to go in that direction,

I long to say I actually made it to the top

And gazed out across that glassy water

I wasted nights with dreams of kisses so hot

'Course the ending was same as if I’d gone without her.
