Regions of May: Your Face, Mist and Rainbows

SCROLL DOWN TO READ LYRICS: 


"Regions Of May" 
- Pearls Before Swine
(Tom Rapp)

The past (the past)
Is broken 
Like an hourglass
And the scattered sand
Of circumstance
Was blinding
Me to you

The rain (the rain)
Is a whisperin' 
To my window pane
And drawing
Crazy patterns
On the blind


Your face (your face)
Is invading 
The portals of my eyes
And drawing
Crazy patterns
On my mind


Who created mist
Created your smile
And who created rainbows
Created you

(30 second instrumental interlude)

My mind (my mind)
Is all entwined
In fragrant fields of flowers
And the scent
Puts me outside my mind


The past (the past)
The rain (the rain)
Your face, mist and rainbows
Flowers (flowers)
And the rain 
Are you

"Ballad To An Amber Lady" 
- Pearls Before Swine
(Tom Rapp/Roger Crissinger)

The amber lady 
Seated at her harpsichord in velvet
Room of eastern wonder
Gazing through the verdant window
Wrapped in arms of silk and sorrow.


Rebecca sighs and perishes 
Beneath the harp
Leila, Leila, she loves anon
On high fields of cinder sun.


I see you drifting 
Draped in heavy lace
Where is this place 
Where you stand radiant?
Your hand hides the moon
And you move with crystal grace.


Rebecca sighs and perishes 
Beneath the harp
Leila, Leila, she loves anon
On high fields of cinder sun.

(50 second instrumental interlude)

Stain-glass showering
Diamond morning
Soft smiling 
In the shining hours
Boughs of henna in your hair
Roses in your silent garden.


Rebecca sighs and perishes 
Beneath the harp
Leila, Leila, she loves anon
On high fields of cinder sun.


There's a brand new morning
Rising clear and sweet and free
There's a new day dawning
That belongs to you and me


Yes a new world's coming
The one we've had visions of
Coming in peace, coming in joy
Coming in love


"New World Coming" 
- Mama Cass Elliot
(Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil)


There's a new world coming in 2023.
