The Pedlar

The Pedlar arrived on a cold day
 With no one to call on and no one to stay
 Considered the dream that may become
 To stand on the bridge until his body felt numb
 Cause everywhere
 People swarm it's hard to frame(? not sure?) you (or new?)
 Till the stranger approached him
 And his dream came true
 The Pedlar decided it was deja vu
 The Stranger was shocked and said 'I feel like I know you'
 And everywhere
 Roses grow?
 Spend their time?
 You wonder if the vultures approve
 You look at them, looking at you
 And rainy days when the sky looks blue
 You're at the window changing the view
 But your luck is gonna turn
 The turn is gonna come
 And soon you'll be a saint to someone
 The Pedlar departed on the third night
 He thought of the Stranger as he walked in the moonlight
 He savored the touch of the unknown
 Thinking too much on the way back home
 And everywhere shadows moved across the landscape
 His heart? what the Stranger had told him
 '? from your failed dream
 Go gather the stream and begin to dig
 And everywhere
 People go to gossip and greed now
 Be careful where all the trinkets are free now
 If that's the way you live and die
 No children here exporting the crime
 A rainy day is as warm inside
 //not sure about these// In the cottage where the spirit resides //not sure about these//
 //not sure about these// You used to light your candles in wait //not sure about these//
 Now look at you you're making you're way
