A Ransom

A Ransom
 a world away from me.
 a world away.
 a word.
 a ransom.
 a world away from me.
 a world away.
 a word.
 a ransom.
 on the day that you were born
 all the birds flew from the corn
 and the sky grew grey.
 on the night you left home
 a crack appeared in the dome
 and it rained all day
 this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
 this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
 a world away from me.
 a world away.
 a word.
 a ransom.
 a world away from me.
 a world away.
 a word.
 a ransom.
 on the day that you were wed
 your bride cried in the bed
 while you danced downstairs
 when the end finally came
 you forgot the author's name
 but you said your prayers
 this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
 this is what you will wear to the end of the world.
