Lost at Sea
To... (I don't really care)
Anyone who's listening, anyone who's there
Please just give me a moment. I have a story to share
Of her heavenly smiles and toffee hair
Her big blue eyes with the strangest stare
That travelled off into the distance. I don't know where
And I'll never know
To... (does it matter?)
Have you ever heard the pitter patter
Of rain on your window whilst pancake batter
Turns into gourmet gold by an angel armed with a spatula
Blessing the food with her heavenly laughter
And bringing it upstairs so you can grow fatter
Oh so happily?
To...(you, I guess)
There is something I must confess
Everyday she loved me less and less
Her heart sailing away, due west
Leaving me a ship-wrecked mess
With loneliness building a permanent nest
In the shattered timbers of my heart
To... (her, this time)
I'm sorry things didn't work out fine
I'm sorry that I crossed the line
I'm sorry I didn't read the sign that said tread carefully
I got carried away because you were mine
With you my mornings were bright sunshine
My evenings cheese and fine wine
My nights the sweetest lullaby
And I'm sorry
Please hear these words
For all that they're worth
My beautiful blue eyed, pancake-making song bird
I'm sorry
