about

Of the last epistle of Tinkerbell. For Robin.

lyrics

Starlight, star bright
First or second on the right?
I never thought my memory
Would fail to hold the way
But little things betray themselves
In slipping rhymes, in dying bells
And Neverland
Grows smaller, every day.

I wish I may, I wish I might
But someone hid the stars tonight
I never thought these dazzled eyes
Would let them go astray
But little things begin to blur
The colors innocence confers
On Neverland
Grow fainter, every day.

In all my dreams, I did not leave
But now I climb the wind, to grieve
Among the willows, one last time,
And see my world away.
The little lights are shining still
They kiss the canopies and hills
Of Neverland,
Unknowing and at play.

When tears and love have overflowed
They keep some portion of a soul
I’ll catch it in a crystal flask
And leave it at your door
I wish, I wish, with all my might
That dawn would never follow night
But Neverland
Can’t hold us anymore.

When, as it will, my heart grows old
When yesterday is long ago
When long ago’s a fairy tale
And all my flying through
I’ll leave the window open wide
Watch for the star, and turn my eyes
To Neverland
And I will think of you.
