Adrian Crowley - Alice Among the Pines

The great shadow maker rises in time
Some things you keep, some you leave behind
Words on a page for the sake of a rhyme
Alice among the pines
The blackened waters of serpentine
Turn gold and the water snakes all entwined
And this I took as a sign
Alice among the pines
Well reasons are many and excuses are few
Ever spinning the reverie
Into this dream of mine, in this endless dream of mine
A step from the shadows one last time
To lie down in the columbine
Her life is a eulogy, I tried to keep time
I'd sing along if she threw me a line
And we entered the forest, deep, dark and sublime
Her words, not mine
Alice among the pines
