Edward Scissor Hands

Long ago
there lived a man
upon a mountain so high.
alone he stayed
although he would try
to find a companion
yet rarely succeeded.

His name I will tell you,
Edward he was called.
After many days of loneliness
and days of solitude.
A woman came to him
to help him in life.

She brought him home
to live in the town.
The people grew accustomed
to the handicap he held.
He was known all around
to many young and to old.
Edward scissor hands
was the name he would hold.

Things all went wrong
and he was framed.
Tried to save a young boy
but to hurt him, they claimed.
He meant no harm
and yet harm was done.
So he ran to the only place
he could ever call home.
Back to the castle
to live all alone.

But never would he forget
the love of a girl.
A girl he loved, Kim,
and became loved in return.
Their memories kept them
together at heart.
And suddenly at Christmas
It began to annually snow.
They knew he still lived,
for the snow continued to fall.
And Kim could still remember
herself dancing in the snow.
And Edward continued
to sculpt her with love.
And no one would continue to know.
