Lyrics

The night was buzzing like a swarm of bees, And all the party people they were shaking their knees when I saw her there. At first I couldn’t really place her face, Cause her hair is a little longer and her clothes had changed taste, She looked older now, In her dress and with her hair unwound. She looked at me and she smiled, But her eyes right then looked like a couple lost kids in the forest, They were scared and they were all alone. I tried my best to reply, But I was tongue-tied and watery eyes wouldn’t let me fake it, So I just stood there like a statuette and tried to remember why the plaster set. As I recall it was a novel ago that didn’t end up the way that I thought it would go, When I picked it up. Plotlines were tied in a hopeless ball and the characters they never quite developed at all, It dragged on and on and on, And when, She looked at me and she smiled, Well her eyes right then looked like a couple lost kids in the forest, They were scared and they were all alone. I tried my best to reply, But I was tongue-tied and watery eyes wouldn’t let me fake it, So I just stood there like a statuette, And I remembered what it felt like, To have all the King’s horses and all of his men fail again, To put you back the way you used to stand, We fill the cracks in with plaster, And laugh like we thought we used to when we were younger, Our eyes still betray they say, God bless the broken ones. May God bless the broken ones.
