Cheshire Cat Lyrics

You flew in on a silver steed, a feather in your hat

You told me I was not who I was supposed to be and left it at that

And I'm fraying at the edges and asking you to lay the cards down flat

And you're old enough to realize when fiction isn't fact

Tell me why

Before my bags are packed

I have threaded my own needle, stitched myself a web

And I broke my only promise that I'd never write a song for you again

We listen to the radio, I'm crimson, you are indigo, and then

If you hear the howling of a wolf, it's really just my heart

Saying hear me

Before we have to part

And I'm nothing of a sailor

But I'm married to the sea

I'm nothing of a writer

Words just seem to pour out of me

There's a ghost who haunts my window, belonging just to us

And he whistles through the cracks

And keeps away the dirt, the cobwebs and the rust

We're standing on the edge keeping our balance on this tightrope of lust

We were young enough to meet him when we never doubted trust

Give me a sign

Before we turn to dust

You're nothing but a Cheshire Cat, a puzzle meant to solve

We are turning on a spindle

I am dizzy with the way that we revolve

And I'm glad that I can see you eye to eye, somehow it's harder now to fall

But I can't help but toeing that line that we have drawn

And I'll never be the same

No, I'll never be the same

Again until you're gone
