Here are the fun brave folks who are participating!

Because a lot of folks are more visual, I've thrown together this treasury of things I've found when plugging bits of lyrics into etsy's search engine. Some are intended to make you laugh, some are intended to offer suggestions for color palettes. :) If you're stuck, hopefully it will help get you back on track!

One more time, here are the lyrics:


Mystery

Each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again
Cause yours was a twisted blind sided highway
No matter which road you took then
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
Maybe an equal mystery

So what is love then is it dictated or chosen (handed down and made by hand)
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just pop emotion (handed down and made by hand)
And if it ever was there and it left
Does it mean it was never true
And to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you?

I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possiblility
And the voices are heard but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
Maybe an equal mystery

But you like the taste of danger
It shines like sugar on your lips
And you like to stand in the line of fire
Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
There must be a thousand things you would die for
I can hardly think of two
But not everything is better spoken aloud
Not when I'm talking to you

Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
Breaks a bottle to Christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief
She's a very good listener

Maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility
We're standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery (handed down and made by hand)
We're standing at opposite poles equal partners in a mystery

--- Indigo Girls, Swamp Ophelia, 1994: Epic Records.



Remember, reveal day is May 31st! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. :D
