Lonesome – Written Monday 18th February 2002 (Aged 26)

Lonesome

i met the lonesome stranger
the one,
with a honeycomb heart
give them a working life
and they’ll take it apart
i met the fairytale queen
the one,
with an old grandfather clock
i asked,
where have you been,
because time doesn’t seem to stop
i met the lonesome stranger
hankering after their dreams –
in an alleyway
you can smell the scent of danger
you cannot take that away
