Once upon a time there was a funny girl

Who fell for a funny boy

They built a funny house and made some funny kids

And christened it the house of holy joy



If forever meant forever that was the place

Or so she told her friends

But the city took her lovers to another world

Left her waiting for the flowers to bloom again



And she laughed

And she cried

She damn near died

On the day it rained forever



She walked around the garden with an empty mind

Feeling tired and worn

Not exactly sure what she was meant to find

Heaven knows maybe a rose without a thorn



She laughed

She cried

She damn near died

On the day it rained forever
