Alice

I fell asleep on your floor
Staring at the remnants of your war
Your body not moving no more

And I cannot believe
You slept with your bed
By the door
Always ready to go

The children gather 'round your treasure bed
Bidding on the things that dressed your head
A fire sale with a terrible spread
And I can't bear to stare
At all those
Relics of the dead

When I awoke
I was alone, I was scared
But I was ready to go

Step out into your sunny, spring backyard
The blossoms are all bursting into stars
The trees in which you cared
And worked so hard

And I cannot believe
How all their leaves
Were bathed in gold
And I was ready to go
