Paperback Boy - Lisa Miskovsky

15 minutes, three weeks and one day

I’m glad that I decided I would stay, still hear you say

Every night is our night, but this dream

Will change tomorrow… see… I know… I mean

Wasn’t it good?

You bathed in wine

Wasn’t it fine?

You captured my mind

Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy

But why did it end, my paperback boy?

Wash away your sorrow with this word, it didn’t occur

That I still want you as a friend of mine, it wasn’t the wine

Strange how everything, oh quickly changed

You’re acting funny and a bit deranged

Wasn’t it good?

You bathed in wine

Wasn’t it fine?

You captured my mind

Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy

But why did it end, my paperback boy?
