Starfish and Unicorns

Your voice is in my phone

I will always wait for you to get back to me

I come here on my own by

The old water tower

Where we dreamt our lives away

Under rocks and stones where

The secrets of starfish and unicorns live

This is your new home down by the waterside

Where you'll never be alone

The bay is still and grey

We had coffee in Scheherazade and

That's all gone away though I can see you now

Like it was yesterday

And our love was an imperfect love

Our horns ever locking

There were years of not talking

Innocent of heart it was us against them

And then you went and left us

To carry on till the end

I am driving home now

Through the winding mind of the boulevard and

Dreams they come and go

Of starfish and unicorns like you
