Linus from the Stars - Glass Beads Lyrics

(In an ocean of glass beads)
(Floating away)
Your sullied dress spoke of gallantry
And blueberry stripes on my arms depicted victory
Bodies bruised and we didn't care
About the twigs caught in our hair
Southern clouds grew wicked and bold
So we swallowed our pride and made allies with the common cold
And cried for peace in disarray
Turning cartwheels in the tonic rain
Memories
Floating away in an ocean of glass beads
Wish I could escape and dive
But I'm caught on the isle of time
And when the sky took an evening blue
We'd honor the day and defy our night curfew
Counting stars, our fingers entwined
And linger in the lunar light
My castle walls were state of the art
But your kiss on my cheek cast anchor to my feeble heart
We were old and love was new
Underneath the crescent moon
Memories
Floating away in an ocean of glass beads
Wish I could escape and dive
But I'm caught on the isle of time
Rescue me
And take me away to my ocean of glass beads
Wish I could escape and dive
But I'm caught on the isle of time
Like a rose devoid of bloom
Hide-and-seek in empty rooms
Since the age police revoked my self-esteem
I'd rather play outside
Where it's easier to hide
And its mysteries endorse my quirky dreams
Memories
Floating away in an ocean of glass beads
Wish I could escape and dive
But I'm caught on the isle of time
Rescue me
And take me away to my ocean of glass beads
Wish I could escape and dive
But I'm caught on the isle of time
