Write, write her name into the clouds
And let the wind carry them away
Someplace where you can’t see
It will come raining down
When the waves wash her name ashore
You won’t recognise it anymore

Catch, catch the spark inside her eye
put it up on the shelve in a jar
if you screw the lid on tight
it lightens up your nights
When the jar crashes on the floor
there won’t be a spark anymore

Is she all you imagined
the first time you saw her
when you put her up on that pedestal
Is she all you hoped for

She, she put her smile into your hands
you hold it as tightly as you can
Like a winding string of pearls
with gold clasps on both ends
When the string of pearls gets torn
it’s not safe in your hands anymore

See her feet, see her bare feet as she walks
over roots and rocky ground
you hope that you will be in time
to catch her when she falls
when sadness hides her face away
you will recognise her anyway

Is she all you imagined
the first time you saw her
when you put her up on that pedestal
Is she all you hoped for

Is she all you imagined
Maybe more, even more
You put her so high that she had to fall
You put her so high that she had to fall
