Untouched by science,
Above all the stars,
In a world far beyond
These earth-given scars,
She lied down in waiting,
And counted the cars
That passed as her
Teardrops were falling.
Swallowed by oceans,
Immersed in the skies,
She searched for a truth
In a tangle of lies,
With a glimmer of hope
Shining deep in her eyes,
That dimmed as she
Gave up her calling.
And as she lay weeping,
Stars put on a show
Of fantastic lanterns
That she'd never know,
For her sobs kept her deaf,
And teardrops did flow,
So she never did see
Their great flying.
The sun moved to warm her
As she sat in the sand,
But none could replace
The touch of a hand,
That took her away
To this far away land,
But left her alone
To her crying.
The world tried to please her,
And yet she still mopes
Over love unrequited,
And yet she still hopes
That some day he'll come,
And untie the ropes
That bind her and keep her
From running.
Perhaps she will notice,
Perhaps she will not,
The marvelous place
In which she's been caught,
But for now she still cries
Over love never got,
And waits for a day
That's not coming.
