tommy 03:49
tommy, now that you've got your pinstriped pony what am i supposed to do? i may not be alone but i'm getting lonely you rode off into my memories of you picking clover with me beneath the moon and by the wine-bottled sea but i am just a little girl with nothing left in this lonely world but a fishing hook and a butterfly net

kitty 02:25
kitty, your worries are over the crickets are chirping in the clover if you let me, i'll pet you i'll hug you, i'll love you forever kitty, you're back from your adventures your fur is messy and you haven't purred if you let me, i'll pet you i'll hug you, i'll love you forever but you'll spend some time staring out your window but i, i want you to know if you want to go, it's okay i won't make you stay kitty, you can have my leftovers without always looking over your shoulder if you let me, i'll pet you i'll hug you, i'll love you forever kitty, you can sleep here with me tonight and we'll still hear the crickets in the starlight and if you let me, i'll pet you i'll hug you, i'll love you forever and if you let me, i'll pet you i'll hug you, i'll love you forever

she died 02:41
i've been waiting for that girl to come to my front door cops found her body down the well said she was happy when she fell and i'm not going to cry it's not my fault she died she died she died she died and i still remember what she said before she was dead her last words to me what should i be? and i'm not going to cry it's not my fault she died she died she died she died one of these days, i was walking through a park when i heard someone say to me you know, it'll be dark soon and then your baby will come back to you and i'm not going to cry it's not my fault she died she died she died she died and i've been out all through the night searching for my baby's light she never came back to me and i know it was all just a hoax to scare me and i'm not going to cry it's not my fault she died she died she died she died

wish 03:15
it's a wish i wish i never made cause dreams like these were made to break and your boat would finally float away and take you back out to the sea someday but the fish they were my only friends they told me where the souls were sent and you were drowning, i knew by the sounds all around me i'd never hold you in my arms again clouds above us water deep we wish we were still sound asleep and the bells were not ringing from the steamships bringing a thousand people to see us and weep

i was born on a saturday early in the morning my mother had seen better days before she had borne me i was one child too many she didn't need any and with my face placed to the window on the car ride home i saw the whole world wide before my eyes pass by me and go it was sometime in december but i can't remember and i will always know the claire de lune of life through cold windows on winter afternoons and all this time, i've tried not to keep to myself but loneliness is the only nice feeling i've ever felt and i still remember saturdays in december when i chased the geese from the lake to the breast from the west to the east they flew over the trees and old friends have flown like words with wings but the bumble bee died with just one last sting i held my foot and i cried and i ran back outside and i will always know l'apres-midi d'un faune with the moon in the snow and winters spent alone and all this time, i've tried not to keep to myself but loneliness was the only nice feeling i've ever felt i hear the sound of my name in the red light that bends and flows when winter rain rolls down bus windows it wasn't fair but mom and dad weren't there now west wind blow on this saturday morning and don't ever let tomorrow know that it never stops storming i'm one child too many, no one needs any and it's sometime in december but i won't remember
