Lyrics / I Miss You

I was the princess of sorrel and the pineapple queen
Waiting for a friend, watching all the kids scream
Play, scream and play, run around the swing set
But the loneliness is what I will never forget.

In the corner of the field by the chain link fence
Eating sorrel as my priest tried to get me to repent
I was a lost cause, so he gave his pipe organ
To my family, and gave us endless bright mornings

I’d wake up to the sound of a dragon and his boy
The dragon couldn’t play, but the music was coy
In its attempts to convey the boys disappointment
As I added piano to everyone’s enjoyment

I’d start the morning fast, then the day would slow down
Because it was obvious I was the odd student in town
I’d end the day with praise and a possible fight
With another pupil, then finally, thank god, it was night.

Go home and sit on the couch with a cloud
It followed me around until a smile came out
It descended from the stairs, from a recorded room
Better than a bottle, id forget the day soon

But my sleep was always haunted by recurring nightmares
Of personal monsters and the burden of cares
So I suppose my childhood routines were iambic
In its peaks and lows, I guess it was quite tantric

Unique poem. Nice rhyming. Though I wasn’t really able to picture any of it that well… I couldn’t really bring myself to see it, but I can say that it does seem to have a underlying meaning.
