Selebrate

Soon we made our way
To the place the people came to celebrate
Smile as I pass by
Raise their drinks, congratulate me, shake my hand

Far away I heard a violin playing
A woman in the distance gently swaying

The way that lady played
She conveyed her every feeling with her song
And my, how she filled the room
Sweet perfume could not possess
The air in quite this way

She danced about the people while she's playing
Everybody laughing, dancing, singing

The sound she made was simply mesmerizing
The look she gave, no less that crucifying

As the music played
Like a snake of fine silk and black smoke
She began my way
The closer she wandered near
I could hear the faint sound of rattles shaking

When her eyes met mine I recognized her
The woman from the painting...
Yes, she looked just like her
