Straygirl

v1
Cage her if you must
I'll wager, I'll go bust
If just a second more, we'd have our fill
You'd better find a flaw
In the letter of the law
If straw could make a man, I'd be there still

v2
Paint her if you dare
The faint and wistful stare
Beware the light of day, or all is lost
In avenues and miles
She hasn't used that smile
Awhile ago I thought I knew the cost

ch
Aoede, give me grace
Give me history and face
In the space of a hundred epic places
I'll find peace
I beg of you, stay
I beg of you, stay
I beg of you, stay

v3
Lay her down, assured
In fey & heathered moors
The pure untethered girl strays far from me

O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate;
What goddess was provok'd, and whence her hate;
For what offense the Queen of Heav'n began
To persecute so brave, so just a man;
