the emptied shell
of a former life
left ashore
by a lovers strife
I grabb and polish
with tender awe
to soothe and nurture
the murdred soul

never thought
I could feel so lonely
never thought
I could fall so deep
but reality outruns thoughts
with an unexpected leap

the tied has washed
the troubled seed
of promised daisies
no more the need
a man with roses
and a lullaby
has heard the song
of a shell nearby

never thought
I'd again be happy
never thought
love would be for free
but reality outruns thoughts
with an unexpected leap
