Lonesome George

T Jackson

 

 

I'm the only one of my kind,

There's no one left at all.

Forty years since everyone left,

No one to hear my call.

 

I've been searching just in case there's

Someone left just for me.

We could roam this planet of ours,

We could be king and queen.

 

Slipping inside the shell

Bittersweet sanctuary

I'll be a child again.

 

But memories fade away

Reveries all but lost

I'll be a child again.

 

I know that you've tried very hard

To find a friend for me.

We put our differences aside

Still it just couldn't be.

 

In my heart I know that you all

Wanted the best for me.

Now the mist descends on my eyes

Maybe it's time to leave.

 

Slipping inside the shell

Bittersweet sanctuary

I'll be a child again.

 

But memories fade away

Reveries all but lost

I'll be a child again.
