This is a remake of a song I posted to the forum quite awhile back. I changed the style to _B140_BG Bossa with Nylon Guitar & Piano. I also added some mirimba which I find really fun...it evokes many a vacation. And finally, I evened out the vocals and took out some of the bits that didn't sound right to me. Anyhoo, here's the new version; the old was deleted for space saving.

Opium Tears

Opium Tears
Reflected in mirrors
And dreams lie her fears

Relying on someone
Who doesn’t have time
Inspired, affected
While he draws the line

Swimming in oceans
Sweeping away
A day in the life
A life in one day

She’s rehearsed her outburst
with nothing to defend
She’s screaming and he’s held her
or so she’d pretend
But truth be known she’s frightened
And the tears are stuck inside
So she’s waiting out the force of the doubt
So she can push the feelings aside

Further she falls
She opens her eyes
She crawls
Into disguise

Falling away and
Losing all touch
Sunshine and madness
It doesn’t take much

If only he’d say that
Those three little words
He’d send her off
In the sky like a bird

She’s rehearsed her outburst
with nothing to defend
She’s screaming and he’s held her
or so she’d pretend
But truth be known she’s frightened
And the tears are stuck inside
So she’s waiting out the force of the pull
So she can push the feelings aside

In his embrace
It's his smile she feels
within her own face

The Empress card is drawn
It tells no lies
Just like the Lovers
She will learn to fly

Way past the pyramid
And out to the sun
Her heart on fire
With everything one
