Margot

her head works counterclockwise

she counts to ten at odd times

from five to fifteen

a second is a breath

a moment a song

she's fickle like her courage to sing

but does naked a biellmann spin

from eight to seventeen

she's so uncool

but so alive

hope against hope and

fear of fear

we won't forget you, my dear

Margot

may she dance in the woods

may she always wonder why

may she fall asleep with a smile

Margot

may she feel the rain

the wind in her hair and

the arms wide open screaming

you don't know where you're headed

but you'll arrive

she'd hoped to be fearless

blind to her grit

she's awake from five to three

unraveling the truth

forgets it straight away

hope against hope and

fear of fear

we won't forget you, my dear

Margot

may she dance in the woods

may she always wonder why

may she fall asleep with a smile

Margot

may she feel the rain

the wind in her hair and

the arms wide open screaming

you don't know where you're headed

but you'll arrive
