jayene | Firefly....

Firefly by Joss Whedon is my new fandom. I admit I'm a bit over the top but I am amazed at just how well done the entire series is. I have a whole group of people going to the premiere together right now. As some other know, I am also a filker. Everyone once and I while I actually write a song. I'm still working out the melody/key for this. Writing it at work is problematic in that regurad. I have to wait till I get home till I can muddle arround on an instrument. The first verse and chorus is inspired by "The water is wide" but I'm heading off in my own direction with the tune as well.

River

The River is Deep, you can not see it
The river is wild, thats all you see.
The river goes far, you can not follow
The River is gone but now is free.

CH
The River is young, but not a child
The river runs still and still is wild
Travel beyond these stony shores
The River is gone, no longer yours

Labyrinths built in her mind
Bars of thoughts that are not mine
Walls of words She can not find
Prison walls we can't malign

For miles beyond, past stars and black
Searching for identity
Traveling wide
For my serenity

You can not follow can not dare
Should not see what lies ahead
cloud your sight cover your heart
You can not know there will be dead
