Dorothy was the first to stand, says "time we found a way", The room held in the dark so well, she so longed to see the day. These forgotten souls, seen as nothing but old, but as young as me and you, After years on end, having to make pretend, knew what they needed - find a way out.
The night clothed their plans to leave, And silence left them, still believe. But this house was built to cage, There is no strain once you come of age. I've left purple forget-me-nots, so that you will forget me not, I was looking for the outside,and I've missed that life a lot.
They threw their watches into the lake, they had no need for time, And as the moon shone down on them, it showed the weathered marks of life. Without a fear, and so crystal clear, that moment was in place, A stairway to the finest view, it was the only true escape.
The night clothed their plans to leave, And silence left them, still believe. But this house was built to cage, There is no strain once you come of age. Prepare to fly away, the light above shines over the day, See those long told in your bay, (?) Close your eyes, now you're away. I've left purple forget-me-nots, so that you will forget me not, I was looking for the outside,and I've missed that life a lot. But it's dead, in the rosebeds we found a ladder to the sky, Over the wall there was nothing at all, we knew we had to fly, fly, fly.
