about

Original song, ©2010 Michael David Matheny

lyrics

Underneath a storybook moon
The cars stop and go
She wonders why the hell didn't she just stay home
In a darkened shop window pane
Her pointless beauty fades
She knows in her heart she'll give him another chance

He's not who she needs
And she's not who he wants
And they're not who they want to be

This fevered masquerade
Days of gold and grey
Alone apart, together so alone
An empty picture frame
The thread begins to fade
White-knuckled hands are clutching on for life

Turn the glass and strike the bell
More tomorrows pass them by
They march in line, their souls are wearin' thin
They raise a tattered white flag
They vow to learn and grow
But the sun is hidden by the rain

Underneath a storybook moon
The cars stop and go
And she wonders why the hell didn't she just stay home
