aubrey

and aubrey was her name

a not so very ordinary girl or name

but who's to blame?

for a love that wouldn't bloom

for the hearts that never played in tune

like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

take away the words that rhyme

it doesn't mean a thing

and aubrey was her name

we tripped the light and danced together to the moon

but where was june?

no

it never came around

if it did it never made a sound

maybe i was absent or was listening too fast

catching all the words but then the meaning going past

but god i miss the girl

and i'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

closer to her than to me

and aubrey was her name

i never knew her but i loved her just the same

i loved her name

wish that i had found the way

and the reasons that would make her stay

i have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest

if i can't have the one i want

i'll do without the best

but how i miss the girl

and i'd go a million times around the world just to say

she had been mine for a day
