And She Sings(Part 1)

not sure where this came from.

There is a girl sitting by the window

in this old abandoned run down two story houe

that tells a story of what they once were

the house reeks of two hearts

that were once beating full of life

 

She stares out into the empty street

wondering when he will finally come home

if he will ever come home

so she sings

Where are you firefly?

Has your light died?

In which you can not fly

 

She walks through the empty house

though there are no footprints to leave

nor any foot steps to be heard

she wears a beautiful white silken dress

with a ragged bottom that drapes over her feet

 

She stares out into the empty street

wondering when he will finally come home

if he will ever come home

so she sings

Where are you firefly?

Has your light died?

In which you can not fly

 

she doesn't want to think of him never coming home

she doesn't want it to be this way

she doesn't want to be alone

she is now a ghost trapped in this house

 

She stares out into the empty street

wondering when he will finally come home

if he will ever come home

so she sings

Where are you firefly?

Has your light died?

In which you can not fly

 

And she sits at the window

staring out into the empty street

knowing he is never coming home

and she sings

 

My dear firefly

your light has died

and you can not fly

and the time has come

for me to say good night
