Disappearing Man Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

All rise, behold the famous disappearing man 

Who comes in crimson robes but leaves in yellow rags 

Hear now his ancient call to union 

And the furious communion of the maiden and the stag 

In the dark, in the dawn, with your wedding dress in tatters 

You reveal the yearning desert in the country of your skin 

How you ache for the fawn, and he says it doesn't matter 

But it does and he's gone, and you know that he won't be back again 

Long now he's borne his heavy armor resting 

Only in his sorrows and his noble-nosed regrets 

Some light, some momentary solace 

And he'll ride off gay and lawless as the moment that you met 

So the night comes and goes, and there's no one there to nurture 

But yourself and you know that you've nothing left to lose 

Will you stand in the road waiting for another searcher 

Will you weep soft and low in the voice that your mother used to use 

Springtime the swain came green and hero like 

A friendly gypsy storm on tender lilies, hale and blaze 

Late fall, the boatman rowed you grimly 

Down a canyon dark and empty in a stale and dreary haze 

At the end of the year when the cliffs rise up behind you 

And the stream runs in circles from the chasm to the core 

And the sun comes in tears 'cause the gardener did not find you 

Will you bloom bright and fierce, will you know you don't need him anymore
