This is the Girl (for Amy Winehouse)

This is the girl
For whom all tears fall
This is the girl
Who was having a ball
Just a dark smear masking the eyes
Spirited away, buried in sighs

This is the girl
That crossed the line
This is the song of the smothering vine
Twisted as laurels to crown her head
Laid as a reef upon her bed

This the blood that turned into wine
This is the wine of the house, it is said
This is the girl who yearned to be heard
So much for cradling a smothering bird

This is the girl, this is the girl

This is the girl
for whom all tears fall
This is thegdirl
Who was having a ball
This is the girl
For whom all tears have shed
This is the wine of the house, it is said

This the blood that turned into wine
This is the wine of the house, it is said
This is the girl who yearned to be heard
So much for cradling a smothering bird

This is the girl
This is the girl
This is the girl
