Mid Life Lucy
Our first competition winner!!!!
Brett Ludeman.
Genre: folk
subject: that moment that you feel like you're six years old again and you give a little squeal of excitement
character: mid-life Lucy
Carl had all the offerings at his disposal and kinda just waited to see which came up with a response and this one did... lovely Lucy...
Mid-life Lucy sat in the light of her lunch-time decided to wait until night
Mid-life Lucy sat on her own with her coffee and phone, showing off her new ring tone
But no-one's worth answering now
And she's taken more time than her lunch-time allows
Mid-life Lucy longs for the time she remembers inside like a nursery rhyme
Mid-life Lucy can't hear the phone, just a distant echo of her sister's trombone
And she's writing the words that it sings
That she's held on too long as the one left of twins
And you can cry sis, cry sis, you're allowed to cry
Cry sis, you can cry now.
Cry sis, you can cry now.
And it feels like to late to revisit your fate
But it's true that the heart knows no time
Mid-life Lucy surrounded by boys, she's immune to the noise
As she questions the choice
Mid-life Lucy stuck in her silence, she squeals with delight
In her step back inside
And her life reads like an endless book
There's no turning back, the phone rings off the hook.
And you can cry sis, cry sis, you're allowed to cry
Cry sis, you can cry now. X 2
Cry sis, you can cry now.
