Dangerous Veils |
| Desert candle in a tented space |
| Throwing softer shadows on a covered face |
| Sister, silent to the likes of me -- |
| Pay my respects to her propriety |
| Is this some crazy woman here |
| Dancing behind her thin black veil? |
| Am I misreading those mysterious eyes? |
| Duet impossible to harmonize |
| I’m not inviting any stiff reaction |
| I’m not one for naming holy names |
| And I won’t peek behind those dangerous veils |
| Though you might hate me just the same |
| Name of the Father ringing in her head -- |
| Thinking over what the prophet said |
| Words and tradition bind her in their spell |
| Don’t drink the water from this holy well |
| I’m not inviting any fierce reaction |
| And I’m not one for naming holy names |
| I won’t peek behind those dangerous veils |
| Though you might hate me just the same |
| Desert candle in a tented space |
| Softer shadows on a covered face |
| Sister, silent to the likes of me -- |
| I tip my hat to her propriety |
| I’m not inviting any fierce reaction |
| And I’m not one for naming holy names |
| I won’t peek behind those dangerous veils |
| Though you might hate me just the same |
