Jade and Onyx
Oh, once upon a time I saw a bird.
The bird was sitting, lonely, on a tree.
I looked at it and it looked down at me.
Then it flew off and left without a word.
I thought to myself it was quite absurd
That it should leave me here along the sea,
Without so much as just one thought to "we";
Pretending like I never was deferred.
Oh, why should I be left here unpreferred?
Whose fault was that, to be the standard way?
Why should you leave me all alone, unheard?
What pow'r have I, when compared to a bird?
You've gone and left me stranded in the bay.
I have been waiting ever since that day.
