<b>Song For Charlotte</b> by <i>Ellie Jones</i><br />

Sky shining, girl

White steaming, girl

I'm swatting a wasp away, just

You smoking, girl

You joking, girl

'bout postmodern poetry, postmodern lust

Breathing you in all

Your second-hand smoke all

Your second-hand thoughts all

Your second-hand tales, but I know

When the second hand moves

You could be gone again

A wisp of you all that remains

Chorus:

Without you today

Maybe I'll fade

Into oblivion, girl.

Or maybe I'm made

To walk the line between

A pass and a fail

Hope you're wishing me luck

'cause I'm clumsy as f***

Without you holding my hand

The line's getting thinner

The wire's getting higher

The crowd's getting small

And I know that I'll fall,

Over and over and over again

In the doorway, girl

In a grey haze, girl

Again we say goodbye

Left to stare at my desk, girl

Stare at the mess, girl

As I think and I sigh

This was your idea

You got us here

And

Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The line's getting thinner, girl

The night's getting darker, girl

Can't face the critics alone any more

I need you I want you to walk through that door, yeah

Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooo-ooo-oooo
