Capricious, oh capricious
Lonely as the wind blows
Jump the tracks between us
They're twisting up tornados
From the deepest darkened bellows
To the highest aspiration

Capricious, oh capricious
Beauty at the window
Break the ties that blind us
We're losing all our rainbows
To chaos and the storm
Like some unwelcome guest

Ever since we were breathing
Since the morning we were born
Fed love and evil from all sides
Till the morning when we learn
How to laugh and cry in strides
How to grow then watch it burn

Capricious, oh capricious
From your mean green walls of memory
All hidden deep within your chest
Long lava roads lay between us
But the cross roads
Sends back its best
With a river to remind us

Capricious, oh capricious
Just how lost a lover gets
Without a river to remind her
She's likely to forget
And just roll on past tomorrow
Like some unwelcome guest

Ever since we were feeling
Since the evening we were one
Fed love and evil from all sides
Till the morning when we learn
How give and take in strides
How to grow then watch it burn
