Black-eyed Sue traipsed across the heath
Facing the last of the summer sun
It kissed her face golden.
It kissed her face golden.
I could see the faint
trace
of her smile
as she ripped to pieces
the chorus of a love song
she didn’t believe in.

She mentioned
that you’d been around
with a bottle of wine

She thinks you’ve raised an electric storm
A galaxy of delight
but she can’t hide the
Burn marks
That bloom like filigree
Across her face
When she described
Your ghosting.

That fleeting panic
In her eyes
Behind her smile
Each time she whispered
And wove your name,

And acted like she was a girl again
And threw her head back,
