Only pretty confetti was allowed to take flight
Dancing in the breeze of my carefree thoughts...

I know where you are tonight
And I'm happy you're moving on...

This dance we do is out of step
No harmony and no respect...

I beg you to just stay alive
Keep fighting this big fight...

I can't write in colour here
But you'll know what I mean...

Come tuck into my embrace
Let me breathe the scent of you...

If I should lay my head just here to rest
And fill my mind with thoughts of me and you...

Haunting cries echo in chasms of days
And loneliness smothers at night...

My life it is a tightrope
This wire is slippy as hell...

Dolly please listen to me
You really are barking up the wrong tree...

The cheerful chirps are fewer now
Proud plumage plucked and bare...

I'm hanging by a thread here
It's worn and it is frayed...
