Lyrics
Peacock
Peacock in the wind
With sails set up to sing
Stories of the birds and the bees
Not of the flame and sting
Or how the heart is bound to miss
The brush of a butterfly kiss
You came into my life, such passion fire and spark
All the time you spoke in rhyme beckoning my hear
Lighting the way that I might see
The strength in the touch you held for me
Holding your hand far enough away
That I’m wanting to want you every day
Peacock in the wind
With sails set up to sing
Stories of the birds and the bees
Not of the flame and sting….brush of a butterfly kiss
Are you the one who smiled at me
Through all your tears of anger
Are you the one who set me free
With fearless wings of wonder
Are you the one through faith I’ll sing
Of our friendship glistening
Holding your hand far enough away
That I’m wanting to want you every day
Love you
Love you ~ you are love
