“Once upon a time there was a circus girl. But she was not born in the circus. She was born far away. In a town that did not understand her. And every day, she wanted to run away. She wanted to run away with the circus. And this is what she wrote…”

There is a place away from here

A most beautiful place

A place that fills my lungs with air so dear

A most beautiful place

But I was born here

And I can’t breathe

But I’m trapped here

And I can’t leave

There is place where dreams sparkle

Where songs rustle in the trees

It is another world

A world like me

Where life is like a skating rink

And jesters and minstrels ice skate

Where all love is not forbidden

And all art bloom into flowers

Where freedom is not locked behind a gate

A gate that will never be opened

So here I am, sinking

Cause that place is not here

The music plays on

A circus song

It’s calling me

Home, it’s calling me

Notes that dance in bars and lines

Language, lyrics of a different kind

The jester’s voice, a stranger, he touches my soul

With incandescence, it warms my veins and breaks the cold

They understand me

And I understand their world

But it will never be

Cause I am here this circus girl

So into my dreams I retreat

Until one day we all shall meet

And as a shiver runs down my spine

And as I fall asleep

A feeling of safety I can’t define

And as I weep

For I am happy

It’s not tears that I cry

The music plays on

A circus song

It’s calling me

Home, it’s calling me

Across the deepest darkest sphere
Where rest my soul away from here
Where angels fear to tread beyond
Two steps from hell a place long gone

Two steps from hell a place so cold
Shrouded in brilliant blue and gold
Where shines the moon all day and night
Oh to behold it was a sight

And then I had to say goodbye
I went away I had to die
I stepped back into time and space
I stepped back with a whole new face

I’m travelling across a million stars
Hide my name and who I was
The music of the universe
Weary travellers and their tears

My hearts scream in agony
A music so bright no one will see
Engulf the night in brilliant stars
Burning and exploding into dust

Strings, wood and voices collide
A million stars no one can hide
No one but me I’ll hide it from here
Across the deepest darkest sphere

A million miles away

A million many years that passed and gone

And here I stand all on my own

For this I have to say

What stole my heart when I was young

Then ran away and left me standing

Their world under the evocative sun

All these years that left me dreaming

J’ai rêvé j’ai rêvé toutes les nuits

Plein d’imagination mon cœur crie

Personne je connais dans cette ville

Je veux courir au cirque loin d’ici

Comme une partition des espoirs

Comme paroles des étoiles

Les rêves ils restent dans le noir

Le grand chapiteau il reste loin de moi

In the chasm of a million lonely wishes

Lie my dreams in many broken pieces

Where nights I lie awake and cry my heart

A dark and quiet song all torn apart

The open strings of the violin play away

Denotes the hopes I’ll never say

Upon my word this symphony

I gaze upon this starlight melody

Beneath the sky and stars that glow

I’ll cast my notes so they will know

A composition that’ll never be

Never heard never seen but only by me

And so it ends I’ll say goodbye

As it floats and as it dies

For I could have been so many things

But now rest in peace a song that no one sings

Dans un avion cette poesie j’écris
D’une histoire parmi les petits jours j’y vis
D’une ville parmi les gens parmi les cafés
Deux étrangers se reconnaît comme fatalité

Dans un avion la musique j’écoute
Pendant que je pense qu’est-ce que la vie je me doute
Me fait une blague j’ai pas’d réponse
Pendant que j’écoute de la passé les chansons

Sud de la ville près de la mer
Dans la vieille rue il y a une café de hier
Loin de tout le monde loin de la civilisation
Un cochon qui vole et les stylos pour les enfants

Presque un jour qu’il pas n’était
Ça fait comme ça la vie joue
Et quand je sort de ce grand avion
Je dis au revoir au tout le monde

Le jour du jour que je me souviens
Poetry of insanity said and done
Le soir que je veux d’oublier
Rewrite history to change that day

Beneath this path a broken song
Les souvenirs que je veux prendre
Each night I stay awake an endless day
Les rêves au couer se fondent alors j’y vais

This music symphony rattles the heart
Et où il pleut je cache tous à la boîte
So in starlight gaze the stars smile at me
Je cours je cours je cours loin de cette nuit

Et pourtant je veux retourner
To turn back the time to that very day
L’orchestre dont mon histoire il joue
Perhaps one day I’ll stay

A wedding it was me to you

A present you gave me a white violin

Like something old something new something borrowed something blue

Was I then I ran away I was gone with the wind

I walked through the park past the lake and trees

Looking back at what I would miss

With a disguised veil and beating heart

I was the one that tore us apart

To two different norths I travelled to

Hid the truth and words to hear

You are the one I’ll always love

Then found again I was by you

The years pass and turn to stone

And here I stand on my own

The song still lies in my heart

And then inside I’m torn apart

Streets and roads I walked and wandered

Home is where the heart grows fonder

Take me back where I belong

Bring me to where I have gone

In the tube my way I’ll find

A different world another line

I’ll kill an angel to get to you

That is how much I have missed you

What I feel ignites into stars

Fly away a million dust

Then mr sandman brings me dreams

Of a life and then it seems

I close my eyes and I can see

One day it’ll be just you and me

The day will come when I can fly

Away to this land where I can die

(Inspired by @neilhimself Doctor Who The Doctor’s Wife)

Never a word was goodbye

As she said she was alive

Until the moment that she would die

Until the moment that he would cry

Two ancient souls who roamed the universe

Had an understanding that always was

And as they parted in epic sadness

Hello would crumble into dust and tears

And so for her to leave he did not want

Centuries awaiting this timeless dance

So clandestine was his life

So was hers she was his wife

And would they meet once again

When they ended both in pain

Yet continue they will to travel

And through time and space they’ll see the world

(Prologue)

Not one heartbeat do I forget

My restless soul until we met

With incandescence in my heart

Trifled and tortured when we’re apart

In my bed I lie awake

The feelings of so many things

An enigmatic figure so very near

A lonely angel from another world

For in this world you don’t exist

For in my dreams you I have missed

You come to me from long ago

You are a story which I should know

When days have passed for I can see

What dreams at night have brought to me

Memories from a distant life

Telling me stories that I’m your wife

Pray tell what should I do

If one day should I meet you

We are all fairy tales in the end

Destiny speaks of where and when

This magnitude we must elude

For it is love that we reserve

One day we’ll see of who we’ll be

Lovers in the stars and who we are

(Epilogue)

Not one heartbeat do I forget

My restless soul until we met

With incandescence in my heart

Trifled and tortured when we’re apart
