Beach

I was on my way, I swear
 But I took a wrong turn there
 For I zigged when I should have zagged
 It's a sombre turn-out tonight in chemistry class
 Tragedy in our park
 Something happened in the dark
 We brought raincoats and pretty charms
 And I did remember this time to keep it inside
 Then we kept the water still
 On the broken window sill
 For if not, we'd have to move
 It is sweet outside
 Where it seems magical
 And if nothing works
 We'll do nothing
 I hope we're on time
 And we shouldn't look at the sky
 The perilous light
 We were not allowed outside
 And no-one could tell us why
 I got worried, with shaky hands
 So we said the words that we kept for worrying times
 I was on my way, I swear
 But I lost my way somewhere
 And the trees were listening
 From the sill is trickling water when the rain returns
 We have our suspicions, thinking what my heart confirms
 It is sweet outside
 Where it seems magical
 And if nothing works
 We'll do nothing
 Save yourself tonight
 Asleep in the dark
 I hope we're on time
