Bad Eye Opal

Bad Eye Opal plays the minuet
Traded lessons after winning the bet
But the passage in the piece
Where her fingers freeze
Rising up from her girlhood
Notes she didn't want to need

So she fled down to the water's edge
Found her reflection and made that pledge
If lilies grow in arson lots
Then after the wreckage why this
Out damn spot

Now's the time
cll the farm is asleep
The pass is nine miles long
The well forty miles deep

Your voice, my chant
I walked the whole way
If you look back now
Night never turns to day

Still remember that toothy grin
Thought I'd never see it again
The glow in the distance
The stillness behind
The air on my skin
Drawing the senses alive

Now's the time
cll the farm is asleep
The pass is nine miles long
The well forty miles deep

Your voice, my chant
I walked the whole way
If you look back now
Night never turns to day
