The Collectors - Lydia Purple

Lydia Purple lived in a steeple
Tall by nature, colored by people
Lydia Purple was taken for granted
By people that knew her, whose views were all slanted
Writing sonnets daily, drinking apple tea
Lydia pretending she is free
Living there lonely, a view from her window
She keeps to herself and peeks through the keyhole
At the end of her first year, her walls werе all painted
She wrote to hеr lover, who never existed
Writing sonnets daily, drinking apple tea
Lydia pretending she is free
Singing softly, she tends her tower
Sweep the dirt, hide the hurt, she sings…
By the close of her third year, she talked to her mirror
Her questions were clever, her answers much clearer
Lydia Purple lived in a steeple
Tall by nature, colored by people
Lydia Purple lived in a steeple
Tall by nature, colored by people
La, da, la-da-da…
