Dear Kolinda Lyrics by Steve Walsh

Black Butterfly

2017

[Verse 1]
Dear Kolinda, kindred spirit
Don't you know there are rough riders in the desert
Dear Kolinda, are you sure
You can make it–make it to Valhalla
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But you're searching for a Neverland
Where dreamy light replaces
All the throbbing headaches I inflicted
All the loveless faces
[Chorus 1]
Alone is like a knot tied in two directions
Alone is sand I guess you need to cover
Alone is like a burden, a burden is the nameless
Alone the wandering shadow has no lover
[Verse 2]
Dear Kolinda, I woke up crying
And half-awake I stared into the mirror
No man of means, no man of measure would have left you on your own
To behold—behold Valhalla
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And faith alone has left you
And alone has left you lonely
But sifting through my rancor was
Something I never thanked you for
[Chorus 2]
Alone is like a rock pried in two directions
Alone is sand I guess you need to cover
Alone is now the burden, the burden is the nameless
Alone the wandering shadow has no lover
[Verse 3]
Dear Kolinda, you're not forsaken
It's a dismal sky, the blood moon rises
Dear Kolinda, are you listening
In the desert you can hear the fussing horses
Sweat with despair
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But you're searching for a Neverland
Where dreamy light replaces
All the throbbing heartaches I inflicted
All the loveless faces
[Chorus 1]
Alone is like a knot tied in two directions
Alone is sand I guess you need to cover
Alone is like a burden, a burden is the nameless
Alone the wandering shadow has no lover
[Chorus 2]
Alone is like a rock pried in two directions
Alone is sand I guess you need to cover
Alone is now the burden, the burden is the nameless
Alone the wandering shadow has no lover
Dear Kolinda
