Venus

Lay her down
In fields of clover
She's weighted down
In sulfur and heartache
Bring April rains...
For your sons and daughters
They love in vain
(In vain)

Forsaken
Were you ever giving?
Reclaim us
And fix what needs fixing…

(You spin backwards
No companion moon
To waltz with
Absent magnet
How earn'st thy name?
How earn'st thy name?
Short years, long days
How earn'st thy name?)

Sierra crown
Drips emeralds and diamonds
In ember gowns
Her train drags in phases
Did once you reign?
In bounty and oceans?

Mistaken
Misnomered and missing
Reclaim us
Please fix what needs fixing…

Oh sweet Venus
Have you given up?
Lay her down...

Just a man made myth of beauty and love
You spin backwards
No lunar companion to waltz with
No magnets attraction
That one moon was tragic
It pushed you down down down down down
Out of bounds

Forsaken…
Moons hit and run
Thrown counter to the sun
Mistaken…
Through her life filled clouds
A molten surface shrouds
Reclaim us!
Lay her down…
Thrown light years out of bounds
(Lay her down)
Explain this …
Just a man made myth of beauty and love?
