lyrics

VIRAGO PLAINS
by Pamela Means
tuning: B F# C# F# G# C#


she's a mystery to figure out like why her color changes
is it only when sadness abounds or an iron kettle rages
are hues hung from heavy brow or underfoot of lions play
what simmers silver iris down from blue to thunder gray

outside concupiscence her cigarette smoulders
evaporating innocence wisps curl above my shoulder
nervously leaning against a fortunate facade
fortuitous meeting i stand before a goddess

how i wish to navigate the wilderness of all her ways
and tenderly i gravitate a tumbleweed on virago plains

power slowly abdicates
feeble air thin breath escapes
arduous anticipation
will she match my admiration

how i wish to navigate the circumference around her waist
tenderly i gravitate a tumbleweed on virago plains
