The Great Parade
Her Space Holiday
THE GREAT PARADE (MOLLY AND JAMES)
her space holiday
As she lies in the bed
with the sound of her own breathing
a little voice in her head that keeps on repeating
prepare my dear because
things are about to change
there is a tiny tap in the center of her window
her best friend james says molly why don't we go
as far away from this town
as we can
he continues my dad is a damn no good lier
he told me my mom went to live up in the sky
but when I look up
all I see are stars
from moving cars
I pushed my insides outside living here for far too long
you are my best part my fresh start I'm hoping that you would come along
so come along
Honey don't be scared
I know just where she's hiding
the answers in this book that I've been reading
the same one she would read to me each night
it's about a place at the bottom of the ocean
she would always sigh how I wish that I could go there
so let's hold our breath
and sink into her arms
because she didn't want to break him with the bad news
she kissed him on his check and then continued
go be with her
I have to stay right here
but you'll be missed my dear
Here comes your son
Here comes your son
He isn't all right
Here comes your son
Here comes your son
He isn't all right
I pushed my insides outside living here for far too long
you are my best part my fresh start I'm hoping that you would come along
so come along
And we'll fill our pockets up
and sink down with the everything we've felt and seen
we'll explore the mysteries of life
and why it hurts to love
and in a way the comfort that we're striving for
in the end will be ignored i still
think it's worth the risk
even though that love and loss and tears and joy
are just a different type of war it's true
everyone must leave
but I think it's who you hold inside your heart
that keeps you warm while they've gone away
