Lilly decided to go to the park and play for her own edification. Making some money for the crew would be nice, but she didn't think that was too likely during a war. Besides, playing was good for relieving stress, and it was long past time to get it out of her system. Maybe having a little concert would help passerby forget their problems for awhile, too.
"♪ You let me in ♫ 'Cause after all ♪ It seemed like the right thing to do, oh-oh ♫ I closed my eyes ♪ And let you fall ♫ I wonder what you could possibly know ♪ About breaking down that I don't ♫ It's been awhile ♪ Since I begged for ♫ Anything ♪ But now I want more ♫" "♪ So lay me down ♫ I'm lonely ♪ Oh, Lord ♫ You don't understand me ♪ And you never even tried to anyway ♫" "♪ I hear you say ♫ "It's not the same," ♪ "I'm sorry" ♫ "It's just something I can't explain" ♪ So shut your mouth ♫ And hold me close ♪ We both know ♫ It's better than being alone ♪ I don't mind ♫ Killing time ♪ As long as I can't see it in your eyes ♫" "♪ So lay me down ♫ I'm lonely ♪ Oh, Lord ♫ You don't understand me ♪ And you never even tried to anyway ♫" "♪ If wanting you is wrong ♫ Then I'm wrong ♪ I'll admit it ♫ Time after time ♪ You'll realize ♫ You don't mean it ♪" "♪ So lay me down ♫ I'm lonely ♪ Oh, Lord ♫ You don't understand me ♪ And you never even tried to anyway ♫" "♪Wake up lonely with you by my side ♫ One more night it doesn't feel ♪ There are visions playing on your eyes ♫ You dream of our fortunes ♪ ...But you're wrong ♫ I don't belong to you ♪" "♪ The moon is the only friend I have outside ♫ One more drink, and I'll be healed ♪ I told you the words and then I knew them for a lie ♫ I wish I could offer an appeal ♪ But you're wrong ♫ I don't belong ♪ You're wrong ♫ I don't belong to you ♪" "♪ What I'd give for that ♫ First night when you were mine ♪ You were mine ♫ Tried with all that I have to keep it alive ♪ I wasn't taught this way ♫ With a thousand things to say ♪ I was born with a broken heart ♫ What I'd give for that ♪ First night when you were mine ♫ But you're not mine ♪" "♪ So I'll put this cigarette to bed ♫ Pull some sheets off your side ♪Put my arms around you safe in the night ♫ Still dreaming of our fortunes ♪ But you're wrong ♫ I don't belong ♪ You're wrong ♫ I don't belong ♪ I don't belong ♫ I don't belong... ♪" Lilly paused momentarily to take a drink from the waterskin she had brought with her and wipe her forehead off. It was hot out there.
"♪I don't know you ♫ But I want you ♪ All the more for that ♫ Words fall through me ♪ And always fool me ♫ And I can't react ♪ And the games that never amount ♫ To more than they're meant ♪ Will play themselves out ♫" "♪ Take this sinking boat ♫ And point it home ♪ We've still got time ♫ Raise your hopeful voice ♪ You have a choice ♫ You've made it now ♪" "♪ Falling slowly ♫ Eyes that know me ♪ And I can't go back ♫ All the moods that take me ♪ And erase me ♫ I'll paint them black ♪ Well you have suffered enough ♫ At war with yourself ♪ It's time that you won ♫" "♪ Take this sinking boat ♫ And point it home ♪ We've still got time ♫ Raise your hopeful voice ♪ You have a choice ♫ You've made it now ♪ Take this sinking boat ♫ And point it home ♪ We've still got time ♫ Raise your hopeful voice ♪ You have a choice ♫ You've made it now ♪" "♪ Falling slowly ♫ Sing your melody ♪ I'll sing it loud ♫" "♪ I felt for sure last night ♫ That once we said good bye ♪ That no one else will know these lonely dreams ♫ That no one else will know this part of me ♪ I'm still walking away ♫ And I'm sorry every day ♪ i won't always love these selfish things ♫ I won't always live not stopping ♪" "♪ it was my turn to decide ♫ I knew this was our time ♪ No one else will have me ♫ Like you do ♪ No one else will have me ♫ Only you ♪" "♪ You'll sit alone forever ♫ If you wait for the right time ♪ What are you hoping for? ♫ I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready ♪ Holding on tight ♫ Don't give away the end ♪ The one thing that stays mine ♫" "♪ Amazing still this life ♫ I'm only twenty five ♪ And I won't always love what I'll never have ♫ I won't always live in my regrets ♪" "♪ You'll sit alone forever ♫ If you wait for the right time ♪ What are you hoping for? ♫ I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready ♪ Holding on tight ♫ Don't give away the end ♪ The one thing that stays mine ♫" "♪ You'll sit alone forever ♫ If you wait for the right time ♪ What are you hoping for? ♫ I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready ♪ Holding on tight ♫ Don't give away the end ♪ The one thing that stays mine ♫" Lilly stopped for a moment to again drink from her waterskin.
"♪ Been a long December ♫ But there's reason to believe ♪ Maybe this year will be better than the last ♫ I can't remember the last thing ♪ That you said as you were leaving ♫ And now the days go by so fast ♪" "♪ And it's one more sunrise above the canyons ♫ And it's one more sunset past the woods ♪ If you think that I could be forgiven ♫ I wish you would ♪" "♪ The smell of this old city in winter ♫ And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters ♪ But no pearls ♫ Then all at once you look across a crowded room ♪ And see the way that light attaches to a girl ♫" "♪ And it's one more sunrise above the canyons ♫ And it's one more sunset past the woods ♪ If you think that you might come home ♫ I think you should ♪" "♪ Ran into an old friend ♫ Sometime after 2 A.M. ♪ We talked a little while about the year ♫ I guess the winter makes laugh a little slower ♪ Makes you talk a little lower ♫ About the things you could not show her ♪ And it's been a long December ♫ But there's reason to believe ♪ Maybe this year will be better than the last ♫ I can't remember all the times ♪ I told myself ♫ "Hold on to these moments" ♪ "As they pass" ♫" "♪ And it's one more sunrise above the canyons ♫ And it's one more sunset past the woods ♪ It's been so long since I've seen the ocean ♫ I think we should... ♪" (Figured I should establish what Lilly's doing rather than having a quantum bard lazing about.)
