lyrics

Cotton candy trees
Lucille and me

Ba ba ba

Draw me out
Into the stars
In your honeyed golden light before the dawn

Send me out
Like a shot
In a purple chariot

Flying high above the world we know
Giving time for our love to grow

Come and see the moon
Underneath the door
Trace the light that’s spilling out across the floor

To the dawn
You and me
Carried out to god in green

In a field where the flowers enfold
The two of us in a burnished gold

Now I
I am losing time to pain
And you
You are losing time to shame
But I know, if we take it slow and
Open our eyes into the

Cotton candy trees
Lucille

Let’s climb the stairs
Like we should
Going higher than we know we ever could

In a chair
Chair-o-plane
Swinging out in our own blue lane

Flying high above the world we know
Giving time for our love to grow

Leave behind
What never serves
Kiss the light n just to know what we are worth

Packing light
As we leave
Cause there is little that we need

In a field where the flowers enfold
The two of us in a burnished gold

Now I
I am losing time to pain
And you
You are losing sleep to shame
But I know, if we take it slow and
Open our eyes into the

Cotton candy trees

Lucille, Lucille step to the side
Lucille, Lucille turn, kick ‘n’ glide,
Lucille, Lucille clap, spin and twist
Lucille, Lucille well it goes like this

Brown butter floss
And blueberry chai
Bubblegum pink and sugar cream pie

I slipped outside of my mind...To stop …
looking for what I could not find
Trick mirror says I look so good
Trick mirror says I never could
Trick mirror won’t you let me be
Trick mirror cracked now I feel free
