blue angel

  the gypsy girl stood quite alone
  her eyes were brightly shining
  her head was in the clouds
  where she had found the silver lining
  and all the while the crippled boy
  was dancing with his lady fair
  while i stood on the sidelines
  trying to make out that i wasn't there.
  
  so loud the music grew and grew
  with ever greater pain
  i stepped back in the shadows
  for i could not stand the strain
  i tried to look, my eyes were blind
  i tried to speak but could not find
  the words to say.
  
  they left me lying where i lay
  i could not bear the light of day.
  
  treat me kindly dear blue angel
  deepest colour of the night
  be merciful, be gentle
  for i have no strength to fight.
  
  half worlds apart
  
  so i lay in half world dream state
  pressed like a flower in the pages of a half book
  words in softly spoken whispers
  steal through the silence of the blue veiled half light
  the best of questions have no answers
  the best of answers need no questions
  born on the quest for a wave of half peace
  acquired in a dresden china cuplet
  bound in the chains of the half book binding
  half way to my half life.
  
  treat me kindly dear blue angel
  deepest colour of the night
  be merciful, be gentle
  for i have no strength to fight.
  
  so she lay in half museum
  pinned like a butterfly which failed to reach its half life
  tender moments left half spoken
  lost like an orphan in the pleasures of the dream state
  a man of honour has no secrets
  how can i be a man of secrets
  trapped in the web of the woven blue veil
  peering to find the angel weaver
  most sacred saviour of the silver lining
  half way to my half life.
  
  treat me kindly dear blue angel
  deepest colour of the night
  be merciful, be gentle
  for i have no strength to fight.
  
  at rest
  
  sleep the sleep of peace my love
  and i will let you be
  i alone can comfort
  i alone can set you free
  i will be your healer
  and give you back your pride
  in times of need remember me
  at rest here by your side.
  
  when the hour of darkness comes
  and time itself stands still
  when voices from the future
  seem to come and go at will
  i will be your servant
  your ever constant guide
  when all is lost remember me
  at rest here by your side.
  
  the wisdom of the fool is such
  that he alone is sane
  so delicate the balance
  that e'er the moon could wax and wane
  i will be your teacher
  and show you where to hide
  when all else fails remember me
  at rest here by your side.
  
  treat me kindly dear blue angel
  deepest colour of the night
  be merciful, be gentle
  for i have no strength to fight
