| She was only just a girl in a picture |
| But he thought if I could only make her smile |
| Then she’d be mine |
| He’d folded it, re-folded it so many times |
| He’d already lost some of her to the creases |
| Precious pieces |
| He wondered how close he’s ever been to her |
| In this ebb and flow of the distance between us |
| Maybe she got the same bus |
| And he left a trail of string wherever he went |
| When he was sleepin', he tied it to his toe |
| If she crossed it, then he’d know |
| But he knew |
| That all was unravelling |
| And he was bare |
| Stripped of his skin |
| Like the ribs of a broken umbrella |
| Sticking out of a bin |
| He’d pull his collar up against the wind |
| Against those who said that trying was the first step to failing |
| Oh he was railing |
| And filled with newfound purpose and pride |
| He’d make something of this heady glow |
| Now where would she go? |
