The Sequel To Peter Pan And Wendy

Windows shine like bat's eyes reflecting something unseen in the dark

Before I came in to this city I never saw a shooting star

You said your soul was precious, when you were trying to sell your soul to me

The glamour's the first thing that you learn, when you take up a left hand path

And we won't forget you,

Though you're far away

And we don't forgive you,

You never came back to the window

The girls scream at the sound,

As your body hit the ground,

And the women come in tears to mourn you

Never grow old be immortal,

Write the drafts in empty bedrooms;

You lay in the wake of a bluebird spyplane;

You made a joke about the legroom

You said we fight the pirates,

Wear our sewn on outcast badges righteously

And it's sad to fly higher -

Wax wings melting;

But we're ever so much more than twenty

And we won't forget you,

Though you're far away

And we don't forgive you,

You never came back to the window

You'll never know the sound,

As your body hit the ground,

And the folks come in tears to strip you

We collected your unpublished works,

Passed them round the friends you left,

I got your copy of Blood on The Tracks,

Julia got Love & Theft

We took down the posters in your treehouse,

Watched the ripples round the hearse,

Saw them sparkle on the water,

Saw them gradually disperse

Now we won't forget you,

Though you're far away

And we don't forgive you,

You never came back
