Geisha

Karliene

Compositor: Karliene Reynolds

Timeless
Like a lotus
Exquisite artistry
Beauty
All take notice
Goddess
Of pure fantasy

Who are you, Geisha?
Jewel of Japan
Who do you dance for?
Do tears fall
'Neath the porcelain facade

Love is
Not what she gives
She is
A lure from a dream
Illusion
Of perfection
Hides a girl
They will never see

Who are you, Geisha?
Jewel of Japan
Who do you dance for
Do tears fall
'Neath the porcelain facade?

Who are you, Geisha?
Muse of Japan
Playing your shamisen
For someone
Or something you never had

She holds a secret
Sealed in lips
Red blood on snow
She is a secret
Behind walls
Of Kyoto

She holds a secret
Sealed in lips
Red blood on snow
She is a secret
Behind walls
Of Kyoto

Who are you, Geisha?
Jewel of Japan
Who do you dance for
Do tears fall
'Neath the porcelain facade?

Who are you, Geisha?
Muse of Japan
Playing your shamisen
For someone
Or something you never had
