One Short Story

Xavier Rudd

He was a boy

Who felt like a man

She was a girl

From a far away land

Far more beautiful

Than the picture in his hand

She had eyes

That would draw him in

They took a plane ride

Together they would find

Her long lost smile

They went home again

Back to her friends

Back to repair her heart



He loved this girl

With all of his heart

He wanted her mind

Her secrets and her trust



She would never do him any harm

He'd give her the world

If it sat in his palm



One rainy day

It was dark in the sky

She turned and she said to him

With grey in her eyes



Go home again

Go back to your friends

Go back and repair your heart

Go home again

Go back to your friends

Go back and repair your heart



His heart turned to liquid

And it trickled from his eyes

All he could do now

At this point in his life



Was to go home again

Back to his friends

Back to repair his heart

Go home again

Go back to your friends

Go back and repair your heart
