Porcelain Blue

Kate Campbell


She is standing in the garden 
Silently astute
Waiting for the sun to come 
And kiss away the dew
How can she be so translucent 
From my window view
I can see her heart clear 
Through in porcelain blue

You can find me in the city 
Where the music grooves
Surrounded by a misty brew 
Of magic and voodoo
Lying in my bed 
In the sultry afternoon
I can hear those saints 
Go marching through 
In porcelain blue

I will follow 
In that number
And I hope 
To meet you there
Blessed Mary 
Please don't slumber
Pray for us 
Who need your care

Staring at this vase 
Searching for my muse
If lovers die together 
Are they forever fused
I've heard love's eternal 
And I wonder if it's true
Underneath 
This crescent city moon 
In porcelain blue
