Purple Trees


If I knew it was you who would bring me to my knees           
On the greenish stones neath the purple trees
If I knew me and you would become faded memories
Far off in a charcoal sky balancing trapeze

All that living guarantees is a jaunt along this cosmic breeze
And I doubt we will remain
All that living guarantees
Is a chance to dance among the leaves of the purple trees

Hang a picture in the hall so a piece of time can freeze
Sing along to our favorite song while I play the ivories
