Courting My Muse Lyrics by Mary Crowell

Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour

2017

[Verse]
There is a tale of a man who got to listen
To the songs of the sirens, and he lived through the day
And I — I wanna be that man
There is a tale of a man who got to visit
With his love down in Hades through the power of his song
And I — I wanna hear that man
[Chorus 1]
I'll cast my rose petals under your shoes
I'll serve you sips of the sweetest of juice
Nothing's too much when I'm courting my muse
If you'll sing — to me...
[Verse]
I am the sort who would think it worth the danger
To lay down on the crossroads, to hear the fairies sing
And stay — for a year and a day
The song's the bait that has always proven fatal
Helps the man find his mate, or leaves my mind a crazy state
And longing for the sing of that song
[Chorus 2]
I hear the magic that music imbues
In notes you sing and the rhythm you choose
I fall in love when I'm courting my muse
When you sing — to me
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Euterpe, Calliope (Euterpe, Calliope)
Thalia, Terpsichore (Thalia, Terpsichore)
Clio, Melpommene (Clio, Melpommene)
Erato, and Urania (Urania)
Polyhymnia (Polyhymnia)
And you are number ten
[Verse]
Oh, play some music; calm my savage beast
Make it roar down the mountain
Wanna live inside the sound
I love — the tune that takes me above
Oh, carry me to a place within my dreams
Make me hunger for modal strains — sweet harmonies
Your song brings me to my knees
[Chorus 2]
I hear the magic that music imbues
In notes you sing and the rhythm you choose
I fall in love when I'm courting my muse
When you sing — to me
When you sing — to me
[Outro]
There is a tale of a man who got to listen
To the songs of the sirens
He lived through the day...
