The hero of the story is a girl with no name And she cast aside all that would cause her shame And she has been unkind and she has been cruel But there’s a part in my heart she will always rule In the midst of the snowstorms and all the rains She has been one that shared all my pains And all of my joys Above and beyond all the passing boys That flit across the screen I thought when I was a child I would lose her to dream But sleep never took what we are Like night cannot take the brightest star And if God made the sun Did he make her to be my only one In shallow pools and in the depths In the midnights and in the regrets In the wonders I’ll never forget She reminds me there’s life in me yet As I age and grow suddenly slow I haven’t climbed trees for an eon or so But I long to race tides across the shore And shout to a man that I love him more More than he could ever love me But he’s lost in the ocean that is all at sea Plotting and planning boats to overtake But she just does things for their own sake And maybe I idealise But she is the truth beyond all the lies Beyond all the fabrication and the sewing thread She’ll be my best friend til the day that I’m dead
