Xarifa 13th November 2007

I'm glad to be back amongst you, Smiling and laughing that's me, happy, moody and restless Just like I used to be. Back in the job getting on with things Just as I did before Only now the things that were certainties Certainly arn't any more. I'm back with friends and family Smiling and taking the piss Sharing the same old interests, But the thing that is different is this... I'm years and years much older now Years, ten thousand years wise Aged by the infinite absence That stared from my dead baby's eyes. I'm older, wiser and sadder now, Although I'm acting the same There's letters carved to the core of my heart That spell out my little girls name.
