The whole world talks in code Somehow yours I understand In you I find a resting place In you I mustn’t fight to stand And therein lies a mystery Of twin souls in separate bodies, With separate minds and separate lives, But seeing through the same bright eyes You seem to comprehend my agony With a soft tongue and wizened lips I cling to all your keepsakes When I feel my memory slip This town is over-bearing I’m sure my foes make your good friends But from this nightmare you give relief- True conversation that never ends

The whole world talks in code Somehow yours I understand In you I find a resting place In you I mustn’t fight to stand And therein lies a mystery Of twin souls in separate bodies, With separate minds and separate lives, But seeing through the same bright eyes You seem to comprehend my agony With a soft tongue and wizened lips I cling to all your keepsakes When I feel my memory slip This town is over-bearing I’m sure my foes make your good friends But from this nightmare you give relief- True conversation that never ends
To my Lily-Pad, of careless play and sparkling eyes, Thankyou
