She likes vintage clothes
she lives in a carousel
she eats chocolate for breakfast
and meets monsieur for tea
they ride bicycles
and kiss on the ferris wheel
life is a fairytale
when your name is annabelle
she went to fashion school
but prefers the retro look
knee highs and sixties eyes
full skirts and cardigans
she likes to travel well
she's an adventure girl
lipstick and fairy tales
when your name is annabelle
dododododododododo
bobbed hair and ponytails
secret loves in her journal
latte's and lollipops
castles and spinning tops
she's not a beauty queen
she's a quirky magazine
pom poms and picture shows
what a girl that annabelle

good night dear moon

so we sailled north on our gypsy caravan
our eyes inspired by different lands
our ears aware of the camels call
their strength their beauty through it all
their big eyes knew of a treasured place
with water cool and skirts of lace
where people rest beneath the palms
and feast and laugh in each others arms
good night dear moon
there's a sky like lapis lazuli
and a waxing crescent shining bright
there are three of us and one of you
but i know that one and one makes two
i feel i'm ready for this walk
but a journeys end is at the start
i'll kiss the window sill instead
i'll wear a ring around my head
good night dear moon
i quite like you

Leaves

she leaves out the back door of the cafe
with her mind on something else
it couldve been a problem
if it weren't for that smile
she breathes the cold air in and exhales
a lonely little cloud
she's climbing over bridges
she's crossing mountainsides
he's quiet tiptoeing through puddles
following behind
he likes the way she listens
to the ticking of her mind
he longs to kiss her in the darkness
under the street light
making love and promises
making up their life
she knows all his little wishes
she hears the footsteps fall
if he'd come a little closer
the stars would surely soar
down, like autumn evenings
gold and silver
rose and brown
like april choirs
like frosted grass
oh,
can you hear my heart

the sky told me so

what chance have i got
what chance that after rain
the sun wakes up again
what chance have i got
of singing to the moon
and hearing you sing too
here we go
we'll be together
ask how do i know
the sky told me so
what chance have i got
catching trains on time
making words rhyme
what chance have i got
i'm lying in the dark
counting all the stars
here we go
we'll be together
ask how do i know
the sky told me so
what chance have i got
as much as all the hearts
who've ever been in love
what chance have i got
as much as there is life
on this winter night
here we go
we'll be together
ask how do i know
the sky told me so
its no written guarantee
its faith that makes love breathe

you're the reason

i miss you the first day you are gone
i miss you second day you are gone
you're up the road and i wanna give you a call
but i don't know what to say
i kissed you it wasn't the best
i'd drunk too much and probably was a mess
but i dreamed of your sweet lips before and since
and i wish i could kiss them again
you're the rainbow i saw on my way home
you're the tune i hum when i'm alone
you're the reason i can't go to sleep
and the reason to
so i can see you
i'm hoping i will see you soon
i've rearranged all the furniture in my room
done the dishes and dried
hung my clothes on the line
done my shopping and time wasting
could you please drop by
you're the rainbow i saw on my way home
you're the tune i hum when i'm alone
you're the thought i linger on too long
you're the love song that i wish i wrote
you're the reason to wake early in the morn
lay on frosty grass watching stars and planets going home
you're the reason i can't go to sleep
and the reason to
so i can see you
