Meet me by the water, little lady in the moon
Once inside a coffer, he found a silver spoon
And once the wee hour tolls and the spring turns blue
I'll meet you by the smokestack and we'll dance in the boiler room
You named your baby Marigold and she lost all of her hair
You used her bones and muscles to build your grandfather a chair
Way down in the cellar you mourned her darling face
But when inside his study you stayed far out of his way
Meet me by the muse
I know your soft oriole crest is feeling overused
Meet me by the muse
When I start to feel a little gentle I will squeeze your baby tooth
And nobody will be waiting to watch you
That dirty old mattress that drove a wire deep inside
Your chest is growing dark and your bosom friend has gone and died
Call into the darkness, out yonder by the trees where you felt
A shudder and a whisper carried by the breeze and you felt
Jack'o'lanterns landing on a lawn with green lavenders
And instruments-a-blowing in directions that you have never heard
Calling in the corner of the cabin that you cried on
In shadows obscured by cornstalks and chalks around a body figurine
(I can't help but think of the things that you have never seen)
Meet me by the muse
I know your supple hands are feeling a bit over bruised
Meet me by the muse
When I start to feel a little gentle I'll put my tongue into your room
And nobody will be waiting to watch you, while I am watching you
Meet me by the water, baby darling in the moon
Once inside my kettle pot he sang a silent tune
And once the quiet hour turns to midnight on the bells
He'll close his cloudy eyes to the shadows of a living hell
Meet me by the muse
The music that made your maiden scream and bury her shoes
Pigeon toed in the dirt where the devil came to punish her for giving up her youth
A shadow left behind, under the light, under the moon
