Melancholy Girl

Melancholy Girl 
With your Pre-Raphaelite curls
You don't seem quite of this world
Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl
                                                                    
What happened to your smile
How came you to be so full of guile 
Your eyes seem to stare for miles
For such a sweet and a tender child
                                                                    
There's someone you've got to meet
The truth can set you free
Eternally
Enigmatic babe
The way you live's a shame
Life is more than some strange game
Freedom's found in just one name
                                                                    
I'd like to show you another way
Where the dark can't harm you
Night or day
                                                                    
Melancholy Girl, 
With your Pre-Raphaelite curls
You don't seem quite of this world
Such a strange and a sad-eyed girl.
