Song For Alex

Well, they say that you are beautiful,
Wide-eyed and oh so free,
From pain and all that's pitiful,
Pitiful to me.

A muster of mouths to Marianne,
As the sun comes out to bleed,
A smile is left for Suzie Anne,
And you are left to me.

So delightful and so vulnerable,
You lie there out of view,
Yes you're hidden away in your silent cries,
As your pride got up and grew.

And the waves lap up upon my shire,
As the sun beams down above,
And you lead me to an open door,
You promise all your love.

And the songs ring out around me,
I'm wrapped up in your arms,
I'm in a state of a Summer daze,
I'm in a state of calm.

-

But a trick's been played upon me,
Yes you've lied through cheating eyes,
My hands begin to claw the air,
There's nowhere left to hide.

Your eyes were too inviting,
Your soft touch had me won,
Your gaze was too enchanting,
My heart beats like drum.

-

My father he sailed the seven seas,
My mother she loved me dear,
My siblings they looked up to me,
Now I'm no longer here.

So take me away,
Just take me far away,
I never meant to end it,
I didn't get to say......
