Just a tear away from death. Reading a newspaper Stories of the untold Unnamed unloved With a candle blowed Unable to sleep Burning a bed of poverty Ready to die is it Too old anyway. Keep laughing and dancing To live it through Or you'll fall in love again. Selling candles - Human rights stuff Student went by Wanting to buy me a coffee A book under her arm And a missed train Magnolia blossom bright pink (Bought for her by her sister) To be lit again anew to perfume her studies.

Keep laughing and dancing To live it through Or we'll fall in love again. Beinlove, nothing less
