play Anastasia

from Mysterious Light - Cogtone 009 - 1999

anastasia i have seen
all of the ghosts haunting your streets.
they will sing you their dark serenade.
false lullabies will rock you to asleep.
anastasia i have dreamed you
in the red desert sky
high above the sangre de christo
bathed in the light of the goddess's smile.

if you're standing at the gates of eden
taking blame for the fall
i have left you a ladder leaning
against the garden wall.

all the cynics and the one way preachers
hammer you all day long.
they will never be true believers
or taste your salt tears in the sweet light of dawn.

if you're standing outside the gates of eden
taking blame for the fall
i have left you a ladder leaning
against the garden wall.

if every star spoke your name
would you deny even this?
if every sun every moon every road led back to
this love that you've missed.
anastasia i have dreamed you in the red desert sky high above the sangre de christo
bathed in the light of the goddess's smile.

I first heard this song a few years back when you joined Ellis for a show at Fitzgerald's in Chicago.  While I'm an enormous EP fan, I'm certain that you stole the show with your performance of this track.  "Mysterious Light" is worth the price of admission for this and "Drink Another Round" alone!

Hope to see you and hear this at a Chicago pub sometime soon!
