"Mariposa" Words & Music by James Nihan and Dawn Zurlinden Sunlight falls upon your silken bed From your slumber you begin to stir As the new world turns your pretty head Push back the covers of what you were Mariposa Open up your wings and fly from death Let me follow you as you transform With you I'll rise upon the Mother's breath And with a sigh will join the spiral swarm Mariposa Chorus: This hopeful-hearted lover dreams Of breaking free the way you did Climbing on a mystic beam Encircling the Pyramid Of the Moon From cocoon To the sky I'll fly With you The pools of Tepantitla are bone-dry The San Juan trickles like a muddy wine But I see my reflection in your eyes And I am sure that you see yours in mine Mariposa You are me and I am you are me In a seamless sigh that we create Lovers in a cloud of ecstasy Dying to go flying through the gate Mariposa (Repeat Chorus) Mariposa, mariposa Published by Composure Music (ASCAP) Copyright 2008
