Girl at the End of the Pier |
As the twilight was returning |
And the sun began to fall |
I walked down to the beachfront |
And watched the whitecaps roll |
A flare exploded over the ocean an orange tear |
Then I saw at the corner of my eye |
The girl at the end of the pier |
She stood and stared at the brightness, |
Glowing and complete |
In her crinoline and lacing |
With the wood beneath her feet |
She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear |
Who will fill up the vacuum inside her |
The girl at the end of the pier |
The toffee apples strewn on the pavement |
The candy floss sticks to the tar |
The organ grinder’s monkeys |
Been freed from enslavement |
He ran beneath the wheels of a family car |
The toffee apples strewn on the pavement |
The candy floss sticks to the tar |
The organ grinder’s monkeys |
Been freed from enslavement |
He ran beneath the wheels of a family car |
Now the funfair is shut down |
And the coconut shy is gone |
A carousel spins on regardless |
And the big wheel creaks and groans |
No one saw her run to the railing and disappear |
One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, |
The girl at the end of the pier |
One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, |
The girl at the end of the pier |
Girl at the end of the pier |
Girl at the end of the pier |
