Jenny labors on, sweetly herself
Rearranging her candles on heaven’s shelf
While the quiet doe, anxious, yet proud
Circumnavigates life by the light allowed
Consider the dove:
Burdened by demons and dreams from above
Miles of ocean, yet she finds rest
Bearing fruit at the end of the vine
I don’t want to be charming, I want to protect her
Deny the deceiver with spear and a scepter
But you know me well, don’t you?
Do you know me well at all?
The garden too long unattended grows flowers sure to fall
The girl in you speaks
Softly through rushes of red in the cheek
Shame bears a story, purity hangs
Every truth from the end of the vine
I don’t want to be charming, I want to protect her
Deny the deceiver with spear and a scepter
But you know me well, don’t you?
Do you know me well at all?
The garden too long unattended grows flowers sure to fall
Flowers sure to fall
