Venus

Lay her down

In fields of clover

She's weighted down

In sulfur and heartache

Bring April rains...

For your sons and daughters

They love in vain

(In vain)



Forsaken

Were you ever giving?

Reclaim us

And fix what needs fixing…



(You spin backwards

No companion moon

To waltz with

Absent magnet

How earn'st thy name?

How earn'st thy name?

Short years, long days

How earn'st thy name?)



Sierra crown

Drips emeralds and diamonds

In ember gowns

Her train drags in phases

Did once you reign?

In bounty and oceans?



Mistaken

Misnomered and missing

Reclaim us

Please fix what needs fixing…



Oh sweet Venus

Have you given up?

Lay her down...



Just a man made myth of beauty and love

You spin backwards

No lunar companion to waltz with

No magnets attraction

That one moon was tragic

It pushed you down down down down down

Out of bounds



Forsaken…

Moons hit and run

Thrown counter to the sun

Mistaken…

Thru her life filled clouds

A molten surface shrouds

Reclaim us!

Lay her down…

Thrown light years out of bounds

(Lay her down)

Explain this …

Just a man made myth of beauty and love?
