Angels of Envy

Little love, softly you walk through my mind
Teach me to love the world
Tell me the world has much for me to find
Let me go on a journey with your wings unfurled

Tell me stories about the love of Guinevere for Lancelot
Of kingdoms past, of kingdoms that have yet to come
Of dragons, my love, that guard gold that no one has found
And tell me about pirates that have drunk too much rum

How softly you caress my heart, how softly you talk
Do you see the faeries that dance in our eyes?
How softly you blush, how softly you walk
Let us let heaven know of our loving cries

Let us walk through the forests of the wood nymphs
Make them sing of the love we share for all time
Watch them look at us with adoring, jealous eyes
And write poems that may rhyme

My heartbeat stills, the world stops
Hear the winds of change blow through
Bang. Bang. Bang. The little boy on the street hops
I can feel my heart stop. I can see a light with a golden hue

Love, my sweet love. Don’t you cry
I will never leave you, not ever
So weep no more, sweet girl
To those tears, let us say never ever

I promise to keep you safe from the dragons
If you weep, I will send faeries to make you pearls
So keep well away from the men who drink from flagons
Maybe we’ll make sunset swirls

Don’t you think of that day, sweet princess of mine
No more thinking of that beast that stole your jewel
Remember me from the memories and the pictures
And laugh at those times when I was a fool

Live your life, my angel of love
Think back to the times when we made the faeries wild with envy
When it gets too hard to bear, I will send you a dove
And then you can be all that can be

One day, you will come and join me
Join me and be glad once more
So sweet dreams and close your eyes
Wipe those tears and heal that loving sore
