Bad Eye Opal

Bad Eye Opal plays the minuet

Traded lessons after winning the bet

But the passage in the piece

Where her fingers freeze

Rising up from her girlhood

Notes she didn't want to need

So she fled down to the water's edge

Found her reflection and made that pledge

If lilies grow in arson lots

Then after the wreckage why this

Out damn spot

Now's the time

All the farm is asleep

The pass is nine miles long

The well forty miles deep

Your voice, my chant

I walked the whole way

If you look back now

Night never turns to day

Still remember that toothy grin

Thought I'd never see it again

The glow in the distance

The stillness behind

The air on my skin

Drawing the senses alive

Now's the time

All the farm is asleep

The pass is nine miles long

The well forty miles deep

Your voice, my chant

I walked the whole way

If you look back now

Night never turns to day
