Persephone

There's a light that shines on persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.
