And The World Turned

Girl stood on the rocks with the water at her feet
The sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek
With her hand on her chest and the wind in her hair
Underneath her breath like a beggar’s prayer she said
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you’d come back to me
But nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And thats when the girl reached in her pocket
Pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket
Opened it up and stared for a while at her faded boy
With a lazy smile, oh how
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you’d come back to me
But nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And she walked to the deepest part of the river
And she thought about diving in
She imagined how the current would overtake her
How easy it would be to disappear
But instead she tossed the locket
In the cool, blue, water
That night in her bed, she let herself weep
She let herself cry herself to sleep
And there in a dream somewhere in the night
Saw the boy and the locket by the riverside, saying
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you’d come back to me
But nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
