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.
 
Now i know your years were never wasted, 
Tonight i saw the magic in your eyes.
