"The One"

Ahhh

Holiday and I come home

I hope to see this boy I know

I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio

We sing along to the indie show

The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you,

Hope you think of me when it plays through

I'm kinda sad now that it's done

You think my time is for free

In all the ways you say to me,

Sweet versions of let's wait and see

You're always a golden boy

And I'm the girl that you enjoy

My parents say isn't he a gifted son

Time is always passing

By but still I have to wonder why

You can't come to tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown

We have our friends,

Live on our own

Still I'm not the girl you want me to be

Say gravity can bend the time,

Funny, I always liked your mind

But this whole thing is crushing me

But you're always a golden boy

And this girl's heart that you destroy

You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing,

Still, I give you another try

And hope that you will see that I'm the one

You say you're scared to get too close

Come let's see how it goes

I see you now at the show,

The 7th in,

The 7th row

Now you look at me

And see what I've known for so long

Sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong

Came to say that I moved,

I see your face you don't approve

Guess you could say that I'm already gone

But you'll always be my golden boy

And I'm the summer girl that you enjoy

Some melodies are best left undone

I feel the time pass away

But in my songs you will always stay

I don't need you to tell me I'm the one

You'll never know that I was the one

ORPHIC HYMN TO PERSEPHONE (29) Persephone, Daughter of Zeus, blessed Only begotten, gracious Goddess, receive this good offering, Much honoured, you, overpowered by Pluto, you are beloved and lifegiving, You hold the doors of Hades under the depths of the earth;

Transactor of Justice, your beloved hair the sacred olive branch of the enemy Mother of the Eumenides, Queen of the Underworld, You, maiden from Zeus through secret begetting. Mother of loud-shouting, many-shaped Bacchus. Playmate of the moving seasons, lightbringing, of beautiful form, Holy, ruler of all, maiden, showering fruits, Radiant, horned, you alone are longed for by mortals. You are Spring, delighting in fragrant meadows Your sacred body appears to us in growing fruits and branches.

Raped into your marriage bed in the late autumn You alone are life and death to distressed mortals. Persephone. You are forever the nourisher and the death bringer. Listen, blessed Goddess and send up fruits from the earth In peace, flourishing in health from your soothing hand; And, in life abundance, leading to richness of old age Then to your realm O Sovereign, and to powerful Pluto. Translated. A. P.Long
