"House Of Jewels "
I sit alone in this house of Jewels
Old feathers, lace and things
Placed around each room
All my memories placed on a loom?
My mind tied up in a thousand rooms
Not many people dare to come here
They simply don't understand nor do they care
What they can't see causes them to be unfair?
Some say, I'm a dark hair beauty?wasting away
What a pity, what a shame
Hell...they don't even know my name
How dare they?Why! they can't even play my game?
So I sit in my house of Jewels
Old feathers, lace and things
And remember that which frequently passes through my mind
This life is for only such a short time?
Tomorrow I'll awake at sunrise
And I can see the beauty in the sky
Tomorrow is my birthday
And perhaps
Angels will be at my side?
