Lily-Heidi Berry

Ah, lily Lily in the shadow Hiding from the moon Lily under glass You’re rising Rising as the sun sets Going to your window Lay your face against the glass And sway from side to side in silence And slowly turning round with nothing but the sound Of your bare feet on the wooden floor And lily All your time you’re wasting Will you ever know When your time is done Now leaning Hands flat to the wall And slowly trace the boundary Of an empty room No word, no warning on the day You left the stage, quit the play You closed your eyes and faded away And lily Come into the moonlight Here, no one will harm you You’re not very strong You’re dying And you don’t even know it You’re drowning on thin air You’re already gone
