Karen Ellick: Music
Vivid
(Music & lyrics by Karen Ellick)
I can almost feel your arms
Holding my body tight
Nothing seems to match
In this room with you tonight
Remembering your eyes
The first time you said my name
What a shame
But who’s to blame?
We’ve become once upon a time
There’s no reason to this rhyme
But if we’re truly stuck in the cold
Why won’t this fire die?
I was only a little girl
Thought I’d out grow you some day
Isn’t that the way
Fairy tales really end?
My lover my friend?
Will anyone ever know me
Quite like you?
To the core like you do
We’ve become once upon a time
There’s no reason to this rhyme
But if we’re truly stuck in the cold
Why won’t this fire die
His ghost crawls into my bed late at night
The most vivid dream I had was never right
We’ve become once upon a time
There’s no reason to this rhyme
But if we’re truly stuck in the cold
Why won’t this fire die?
