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
