Cup of Dreams

She’s a seed in the shadow of Jericho’s Wall
Willow unveiled her beauty from head to toe
My name is Chiang Li but my friends call me Joe
I landed with the promise of a lover’s call

Bethlehem’s market breakable peace
I was selling pumpkins on Christmas Eve
’til Willow led me in by pouring tea
smiling of Jesus through the Rose of her cheeks

I gaze into her eyes
to see god dream
drifting as a flower
on a summer’s breeze

CHORUS:
She offers her hand
cooled by the sea
sleeping with our only sin
a cup of dreams

Dusting my heart like cherry blossoms swaying
kissing you Caterpillar butterfly in danger
Willow sleeps through the bulldozer’s braying
sandals in the ground laced to an angel

I lay my lips
where I see god sleep
imagine you Willow
in all my dreams
