When It Was Ours |
A daffodil, a rusty swing |
A broken bench where once sat king |
A mouldy doll looks to the stars |
And it was mine and it was yours when it was ours |
A withered tree where birds did sing |
A broken song upon the wing |
Those feathered hearts looked up to mars |
When it was mine and it was yours and it was ours |
It was ours when I was yours |
Before this place went on all fours |
Now it’s under lock and key |
It isn’t you, it isn’t me |
It’s other couple’s falling walls |
It’s other couple’s punctured balls |
No wasp-filled jars or last hurrahs |
Now it ain’t ours |
The conversation, the whispered laugh |
Is overgrown like garden path |
The twisted branch, the crooked stairs |
It was yours, it was mine, now it’s all theirs |
The bicycle with buckled wheel |
Lays on the grass like how we feel |
A sparrow dies then eagle soars |
Now it’s all theirs, no longer mine, no longer yours |
Revisit graveyards, pubs, and clubs |
But don’t go back to the place you love |
They quickly return to distant shores |
When they’re not ours, no longer mine, no longer yours |
