Julia

Julia, queen of hearts
Pleads to play the part
The casualty of everything
Fatal elve through the lark

And the nightingale, with his offering
Pleases not her heart
The hum and ring of the broken strings
Cannot contain what they don't discard

And it won't remain
Although it comes for her again
Keys to kingdoms, battles brave
Though they won't remain
and though they seem to understand
Waves have changed to a glass of sand
Waves have changed to a glass of sand

Julia
pages have been turned
on book of poems your lover learned
did you praise the lines and blame the words
For if you have taken every phrase
And bled them all a rage
You've mistaken
Julia
Queen of hearts you'll never reign
And it won't remain
Although it comes for her again
Keys to kingdoms battles rage
For they won't remain
And though they seem to understand
Waves have changed to a glass of sand
Waves have changed to a glass of sand
