Bilingual
Just before it rains
The wind whips from the balcony
And the sky closes
On the English roses
And she'll be pacing
Round and round and round and round her room
These storms always find her
To remind her
ย
Into the endless sky
The pink over grey
She looks for an answer
But it's too late
Maybe it's true
Some things were just never meant to be
Maybe not
ย
This is a story
Fruit picked from the vine
Forgotten, left to rot
Long before its time
This is a story
About the girl who lived next door
Looking for someone to hold
ย
A wish made our star
Brought her here tonight
In the courtyard she waits
A thousand broken days
But she holds the hymn now
So carefully pressed
As the English rose
She laid to rest
ย
Flowers in full bloom
Bouquets in every room
This is a story
Fruit picked from the vine
Looking for someone to hold
