how you must have felt
when the raids came through
and no one there to comfort you
in the war zone too.
how you must have felt
at the break of day
when the sky could only
turn to grey
and no one there
to hear you say
alas my heart
has gone away
has gone away.
to a place where flowers, hills
remain
and there's nothing left to be explained
just a firefly startled into star
and a wish for you
though from afar
a wish for you--
though from afar.
