In desperate need of a better title, methinks
It was the summer, of that long drought,
You remember?
My friends and I, we were free, at least,
Till September,
That night the circus, came to town,
And you knocked me down,
Knew you were special, when we locked eyes,
In the crowds,
Eventually you fell away from me,
But for now, I want to say,
You were the best thing that ever happened,
To a home-grown small town girl,
You lit up my world in ways,
That set my mind a-whirl,
You were the moon, the stars, the sun combined,
And you helped me find the way,
It’s shame that even now, my love,
I don’t even know your name,
You took my number, and called me up,
Every evening,
You showed me things, that I never thought,
I’d believe in,
You were the magic of my teenage world,
And to me, you were all there is,
You were the best thing that ever happened,
To a home-grown small town girl,
You lit up my world in ways,
That set my mind a-whirl,
You were the moon, the stars, the sun combined,
And you helped me find the way,
It’s shame that even now, my love,
I don’t even know your name,
Locked inside my memories,
As I stroll through the trees,
Of the plot where your home stood,
Ten weeks you stayed here,
One day my worst fear,
Was realised when I ran down,
And you were no longer around,
You didn’t even come and say goodbye,
When you went on your way,
It’s shame that even now...
You are the best thing that ever happened,
To a home-grown small town girl,
You lit up my world in ways,
That set my mind a-whirl,
You were the moon, the stars, the sun combined,
And you helped me find the way,
It’s shame that even now, my love,
I don’t even know your name,
I’ll never know your name,
