Three muses come to me in the spring
One by water
One by land
And one every time you sing
I don't try to seek them out
I just sit down and wait for the spark they bring
Three muses come to me in the spring
Three notions come to me in the fall
One on life
One on love
And one on nothing at all
It's not that they're so mighty
But to reach that air you've got to be tall
Three notions come to me in the fall
Three cynics came to me in the sun
Sayin' "Drive all night
Forget your life
And don't trust anyone"
Maybe they're just cautious
Or maybe they're something more like a loaded gun
Three cynics came to me in the sun
Three roses came to me in the snow
No-one called
No-one signed their name
They just expected me to know
That the mystery of unsung things
Is more exciting than your dreams of home
Three roses came to me in the snow
