lyrics

Ophelia is crying
with the rise of Pontchartrain
The wind and the waters howling
of a story about Annie Fein
She laughs about the tragedy
and she cries about the moon
Daydreaming in melodies
bells of fire in her womb

Across the world she travels
Searching for the door
To open into mastery
Arising from the war

Like an angel sounding miracles
all the people they come to see
What Ophelia has mastered
Annie Fein has come to be

its everything shes wanted and
nothing she did seek
Was right inside her pocket by
the fires of mozambique

Annie Fein and Ophelia
stand together at the gate
One of skin and one of glass
both sleeping and awake
into eyes they stare for hours
but the time it does not pass
they seem to know the difference
between the skin and glass

On two feet they walk alone
Taking in consideration
What everyone is thinking and how the stars make
constellations
Celebrating miracles and tragedies alike
Dance round and round the water
Lightning sounds the thunder strikes

Magic turns to black and gold
coloring the sun
I am twirling into emeralds and the two souls turn to one
Annie Fein she is laughing as she sails on biscayne bay
While ophelia sings her poetry in the most peculiar way

Annie Fein and Ophelia
Are united once again
to bless these tragic miracles
One of glass and one of skin

Utah Green Asheville, North Carolina

Each song is different and stands on its own, but can be generally categorized as funny and quirky, complex, emotional, and reflective. There is wonderful imagery in her poetry that stimulates one's imagination and it can be very moving in a positive sense. It is sometimes a challenge to capture and comprehend the multiple meanings of some of her verse, but it's worth the effort.
