Bedtime Stories from beside an Incubator.
You were silent as the dead of night
You left me to rely on some foolish second sight
But I'm afraid that my vision is a little blurred
and I was left on tenterhooks by what I heard
You were wrapped up in your hidey hole
You were waiting for someone to bring you soul
On a silver platter with china mugs and saucers
You left the richest of us begging like paupers
As close as I'm standing to you here
I can only smell bleach and sky blue fear
Let me see you face
Little Lily Grace
You were all dressed up for us
You were a splitsecond rag doll
Only to be punctuated by plastic cups
Of granite-grey coffee
You were a mystery
You're part of my bloodstained history
I'm all a-shiver with peasoup time to kill
But now we can bask below the windowsill
10 storeys up....
As close as I'm standing to you here
I can only watch the visiting whores leer
Let me see your face
Little Lily Grace
And they all lived happily after
But we needed to pass this little test
And pass up your friends and their laughter
Go through college before growing up, cross your tiny fingers and hope for the best
Blue sky girle.
Blue blanket baby.
You had me worried sick for a moment there
The suns rays are framing what little hair
(you have)
Little Lily Grace
