As the twilight was returning and the sun began to fall

I walked down to the beach front and watched the whitecaps roll

A flare exploded over the ocean. An orange tear

She stood and stared at the brightness, glowing and complete
|

|
In her crinoline and lacing with the wood beneath her feet
|

|
She walked in splinters shedding the salt of a single tear

Who will fill up the vacuum inside her,

The toffee apples strewn on the pavement. The candy floss sticks to the tar

Now the funfair is shut down and the coconut shy is gone

A carousel spins on regardless and the big wheel creaks and groans
|

|
No-one saw her run to the railing and disappear

One more drop in an unfeeling ocean, the girl at the end of the pier
