White Linen

Chris Pratt, Copyright February 2003

Devoid of inhibition, spirit rules the night
Telling of the truth that daylight pushes from our sight
Images appear in view, that we would push away
truth comes when we close our eyes, and let the dream convey

Once again appeared to me, blindness cast aside
misty apparition, seen for what's inside
love that lives in hiding, feelings held at bay
the peace of gentle fondness that never went away
   
She wore... white linen in my dream
Made of... pure beauty, seldom seen
At a time when loving feelings would vanish in the night
beholding heavens perfect view, would dominate my sight
... white linen in my dream
She wore... white linen in my dream

Grasping at the callousness demanded by the past
cowardice in caring, surface love that didn't last
clouded glass when shattered, lets dreams show what is real
the heart without protection, can finally start to feel

Chorus

the flowers bloom in colors that deny what they must be
when you look in black and white there's a chance to see
the contrast of the story that the inner beauty tells
softness of the petals, the rose so sweetly smells

Chorus
