Miss Pain

Once upon a dream

In a town by the ocean

A young lady stayed

She dreamed of places far away

But he told her to lay

Her head down

And reverse her frown

He gave her his crown

 

Told her to stop thinking

And just begin sleeping

And when she awoke 

He was gone to the sea

 

Left her a lighthouse 

On a cliff so lonely

Her only friend

Was the cat that 

ate the stray mouse

 

She shined her light

She stayed true in the night

She slept without fright

And then one day

He came to stay 

 

Old he was

But his heart still beat bold

And her hand he would hold

Until they passed away

Together in a town

By the ocean 

Without a sound
