Claire's Song

She swings minor C sweetly
Once again she finds me when
I’m sitting at the old cafe
Sipping visions from an iced latte
She strums all of her strings numb
Patio adagios
Dirges dangled in the air
And flatted fifths all tangled in her hair
She’s wild, in many ways a child
You used to know so long ago
With sorrows falling all around
And heaven’s here with that sweet sound
She’s strange, she doesn’t mind the rain
Lightning rings, she’s giggling
Drenched as the branches fall
Dressed up just like a china doll
When everyone runs into hide
She runs outside, she runs outside
When everyone runs into hide
She runs outside, she runs outside
When everyone runs into hide
She runs outside, she runs outside
When everyone runs into hide
She runs outside, she runs outside
When everyone runs into hide
She runs outside, she runs outside
When everyone runs into hide (Watch her rise through the blue)
She runs outside, she runs outside (Watch her laugh so hard she cries)
Watch her rise through the blue, watch her laugh so hard she cries
She swings minor C sweetly, once again she finds me when…
