some sign of forgiveness

some form of relief

is all that she asks for

is all that she needs

she waits for the day when

she’ll feel more at ease

some time to be cared for

some time left in peace

cold stars of the future

they burned bright in the past

but these moments of solace

they won’t last

they don’t last

you’re wasting the moment

biding your time

no-one got ahead

standing in line

so something is over

before it’s begun

so close she could taste it

but now it is gone;

cold stars of the future

they burned bright in the past

but these moments of solace

they won’t last

they cannot last

you’re hoping for solace

well just look around

everyone here is

standing in line

solace now
