I dreamt that you were twisting through seven suns of gold and the gypsy was insisting

their story must be told I came two in the morning but I took it as a warning that you might be a treasure I could touch but never hold Hello, lovely soberful listeners. It's Veronica And I am here today to talk to you about a subject that I think is the most vital thing that you need to
