Jean Moss - Peacock Lady Lyrics

Hey there Peacock Lady in your shiny silken skirt
Do you ever envy those you see?
Do you ever wish to step down from your canvas world
Or to sacrifice your immortality

But your fingers never touch your skirt of peacock plumage rare
Your skin has never felt the feathers fine
And your mouth has never kissed the lips of someone close to you
Or sipped a glass of blood red wine
But the spheres of life spin swiftly for the mortals that you see
They can't cheat in time or in space
But you possess a piece of time that no-one can destroy
In the gallery of space you take your place

Hey there Peacock Lady in your shiny silken skirt
Do you ever envy those you see?
Do you ever wish to step down from your canvas world
Or to sacrifice your immortality

Your body's never known the warmth another one can bring
You've never smelt the scent of summer hay
And your womb has never known the thrill when life comes from within
If you could speak oh lady what would you say
Oh and Peacock Lady I know your cage is really very small
Your wings are clipped forever and a day
But you never have to face the facts of fear and love and hate
For to hang up there forever is your fate

Hey there Peacock Lady in your shiny silken skirt
Do you ever envy those you see?
Do you ever wish to step down from your canvas world
Or to sacrifice your immortality
