 Tell Me When?

I wander through the empty house,
And still remember when.
You'll never really understand,
Just like my Father.
When?
He fought in Normandy,
The scars,
Are but yellowing grass.
My daughter,
Don't you cry.

This is the only home,
She's ever known,
How can she understand,
I sneeze,
I'm drunk on wine.
I just keep remembering when,
My life before I came.

How would it be if?
You never said hello,
I'm so happy that I tried.

Where are you Boudica?
Hello the rainbow ends.
Goodbye to Spartan House promises,
No daughter don't you cry.
Just when?
Tell me.

When?

When?

When?

When?

When?

Bastard when,
You daffodil,
Flower,
Water green,
Tell me precious,
Bastard,
When?
The fountain ends.
