She came here crashing inside this hollow chest of mine.
Glided on a wave as if she practiced it another time.
I said young lady, you don't come round here anymore.
She said "I'm the Aussie remember? I've come back for more.
I got sent away, now it seems I'm here to stay.
Take my hand dear, I've got a plan for today."
We watched the waves come crashing against our tired feet,
I told her I've got skeletons they even watch me when I eat.
She said " Dear, you mustn't not forget, at least those weary bones don't lay with you in bed.
I got issues, I got problems, I got war inside this mind of mine,
which is why I came to watch the waves collapse into the tide."
