Capricious, oh Capricious
lonely as the wind blows
jump the tracks between us

they're twisting up tornados
from the deepest darkened bellows
to the highest aspiration


Capricious, oh Capricious
beauty at the window

break the ties that blind us
we're losing all our rainbows
to chaos and the storm

like some unwelcome guest

ever since we were breathing

since the morning we were born
fed love and evil from all sides
till the morning when we learn

how to laugh and cry in strides
how to grow then watch it burn


Capricious, oh Capricious
from your mean green walls of memory
all hidden deep within your chest

long lava roads lay between us
but the cross roads
sends back its best

with a river to remind us

Capricious, oh Capricious

just how lost a lover gets
without a river to remind her
she's likely to forget

and just roll on past tomorrow
like some unwelcome guest


ever since we were feeling
since the evening we were one
fed love and evil from all sides

till the morning when we learn
how give and take in strides
how to grow then watch it burn
