My fairy lights
I hung you out in my room, As a girl, with shiny strings, And esoteric dreams I don't know why, But it's been so long It's been so long, We danced, under Those mystical trees You and me, And a song, Whirling round and round, Till we both fell down It's been so long, I gave into whims Of drunken nights And cold stars A porch sitting alone, Wondering why the train Seemed so far, And home never felt like home It's been so long, I took a bus to nowhere, Looking at strangers, On a lake near the town Looking at the moon At midnight Looking at myself Inside out It's been so long The colours are all gone, The lights fade away, One by one, Till they're just a tubelight now It's been so long, So very long.. .
