lyrics

I thought love would be some other animal completely;
that she would look me in the eyes and threaten to eat me
But she turned out to be the warmest and most comforting creature,
with all features of beauty and wisdom

I didn't know that she could be such a truthful mirage of her own
as she guarded the forrest of love
well i worked on my own self confidence
as she growled around in search for dinner

Where might she have led me this time--
oh love, oh forest, oh mother?
Who could she have led me to believe i am this time;
whether it's rhyme or reason?

Yellow is the color of the sheets with which we make love on
whether the sons are out or it's a sun storm
and i would like to tell you of those thing that I imagine;
the architectural landscapes and habitats
within my own dream world. In the pleasure of your love
I can forget if i am man or if I am girl--
yet i still can't seem to be me when I am high around you;
it's my insensitivities

Within the forest she hides;
it's my inner mind she’s the princess, and
within the ocean it’s his mind;
and it’s as constantly glowing as the moon in the sail
It’s my lack of words
It’s my little girl inside my ego
It’s my curiosity of all the people
