Orchid Fields

In fields full of orchids my true love lies
A gift from the stars the cosmic eyes
Just like a small child so easily lead
In fields full of orchids I lightly tread

In the summer rain spread you wings again
All golden and gleaming in sweet refrain
Your face like an angel with eyes of jade
Together we'll love in the willows shade

When the Silver moon dances through the trees
And elven song can be heard on the breeze
And diamond stars shine from above
In fields full of Orchids I fell in love.

My Life For A Stage

My name is just a masquerade
For a penny you can buy my stage
I'll watch you act the same as me
I watch you make mistakes like me.

And as we move to another scene
You can play the part I played in a dream
In this dream I saw a friend in danger
But could not help, for he was a stranger.

I'll show you my friend as the curtains rise
So many different people behind these eyes.
I'll show you my friend the role you must play
So trust in me I want you to stay.
