Like nobody sees the naked air
Nobody notices her quiet tears
She longs for a light, a fire perhaps
To embrace all her unyielding fears.

She dances her spirit in the rain
Claps with the crowd and hides the pain
She dreams of a place to live upon
Before she knows it, she's come undone.

Nobody hears the way she speaks
Taste of her own doubt makes her voice weak
In the darkest of the night she cries
No single star to guide her wish in the sky.

Puzzle me, puzzle you
We're torn into pieces, fit in two
Now I am heartless
Since I gave it to you
When will you  love me?
To offer your heart, you dare not to.

There was a young lady in white,
Who looked out at the depths of the night;
But the birds of the air,
Filled her heart with despair,
And oppressed that young lady in white.

There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who watched his wife making a stew;
But once by mistake,
In a stove she did bake,
That unfortunate Man of Peru.

  Calico Pie,
  The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
  Their wings were blue,
  And they sang 'Tilly-loo!'
  Till away they flew,--
    And they never came back to me!
      They never came back!
      They never came back!
    They never came back to me!

II

  Calico Jam,
  The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
    He took off his hat,
  To the Sole and the Sprat,
  And the Willeby-Wat,--
But he never came back to me!
  He never came back!
  He never came back!
He never came back to me!

III

  Calico Ban,
  The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
  Flippity flup,
  They drank it all up,
  And danced in the cup,--
But they never came back to me!
  They never came back!
  They never came back!
They never came back to me!

IV

  Calico Drum,
  The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
  Over the ground,
  Around and around,
  With a hop and a bound,--
But they never came back to me!
  They never came back!
  They never came back!
They never came back to me!
