And the World Turned

Girl stood on the rocks with the water at her feet the sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek With her hand on her chest and the wind in her hair Underneath her breath like a beggar's prayer she said I miss you, come back to me I wish you'd come back to me But nobody heard And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned And thats when the girl reached in her pocket pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket Opened it up and stared for a while at her faded boy with a lazy smile, oh how I miss you, come back to me I wish you'd come back to me But nobody heard And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned And she walked to the deepest part of the river And she thought about diving in She imagined how the current would overtake her How easy it would be to disappear But instead she tossed the locket In the cool, blue, water That night in her bed, she let herself weep She let herself cry herself to sleep And there in a dream somewhere in the night Saw the boy and the locket by the riverside, saying I miss you, come back to me I wish you'd come back to me But nobody heard And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
