Tim Myers:

Music

I Call on Orpheus

Words and music by Tim Myers

If I could stand inside your dreams

and with these hands beguile the sounding strings--

and in the forest of your sleep,

if I could raise a song among the trees--

if I had the voice of the man-god,

would you open your heart like a flower?

When he sang out, the birds wheeled down;

the badger watched, the wood-mice huddled round.

The bees lay drunk with honey-song;

The lion came and silently looked on.

Cunning or timid or ruthless,

each one opened its heart like a flower.

I see your eyes.

I see what you could be.

I see your eyes.

I see what we could be.

I see your eyes.

But here I stand, an average man,

with words too few and these ungentle hands.

This love that burns me like a sun

is straining at the doorway of my tongue.

Grant me the truth of that harpist--

will you open your heart like a flower?

Grant me the truth of that harpist--

softly open your heart like a flower.

Open your heart like a flower.

Those Stars

Tim Myers
