Seven Veils

(album: A Song Is A City - 2004)

She gets grumpy when she doesn't come
She says, "Hey boy you got all the fun"
Then she comes over
With the flowers in her hand

She gets clumsy when she's all alone
I say "baby, there's some things you just don't know"
Then she comes over
And puts her hand upon her heart and says

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away

She gets jealous
And asks me "Who was she"
I say "Patience" and put a kiss upon her cheek
Then she comes over
And says, "The two of us should never part"

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away
He's the one whose questions go unanswered most the time
Words
Words to keep from falling from her mouth

Even though she was a mirror in her-own time
That wasn't her
You know she was a spy

Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away
No I won't be coming home this year
Now watch them fall away
