The Artist's Lament

Cat claws and coffee,
Bright lights and cosy
Thoughts of the cold night
Thinking of the plight

It didn't phase her
It didn't phase her
Thoughts of the cold night
Thoughts of the long flight
Home
Home...

Sun dress and flowers,
Counting down the hours,
Memories in vintage
Fairies in her visage

It didn't phase her
It didn't phase her
Thoughts of that cold night
Thoughts of the starlight
Beyond
Beyond it all

A short stint but treasured one
For all its worth, I had fun.
