Measures of mincing minutes
Exiled with suitcases packed
To astral planes of...

Half-term holidays are here again
Two weeks of not going to school
Uniforms are in the washing machine

A communion with the dreams of someone;
Love be a sharing of how loving feels,
A grand leap of faith to the heart of the sun.

The one who's allways full of fear,
The one who's scared to shed a tear,

twilit figs have fallen near
