My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun - In Corners - till a Day The Owner passed - identified - And carried Me away - And now We roam in Sovreign Woods - And now We hunt the Doe - And every time I speak for Him The Mountains straight reply - And do I smile, such cordial light Opon the Valley glow - It is as a Vesuvian face Had let it’s pleasure through - And when at Night - Our good Day done - I guard My Master’s Head - ’Tis better than the Eider Duck’s Deep Pillow - to have shared - To foe of His - I’m deadly foe - None stir the second time - On whom I lay a Yellow Eye - Or an emphatic Thumb - Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die - Genre Indie Comment by Uncharted Course Just had to keep listening 2022-03-11T04:07:05Z Comment by Ricardo da Silva beautifully creative ,a captivating productio with wonderful variation 2022-02-04T20:18:13Z Comment by RÄF Nice vocals 💪 2021-09-24T15:21:01Z Comment by Sonny Kaye beutiful vocals 2021-09-11T16:42:47Z Comment by Sonny Kaye brilliant this song is 2021-09-11T16:42:35Z Comment by Ginger Phoenix Live Love - I'm not a writer, but would like to write at least one song and I envision myself as a story teller. 2021-05-26T05:58:42Z Comment by a Stolen Glow Love your voice!
