An August day in the hills of Spain, a pair of children emerged from a cave. 

The strangest sight there alone they stood, 

with skin of green and words no one had heard. 

The girl was stronger, the boy was weak, 

with her new mother she learned to speak. 

And wove a tale of a dying sun, they had left darkness, 

a dark world come undone. 

They travelled so far. Believing they came from a star. 

She fell through life, through time, through parallel lives. 

The men of science, the men of fame, the men of letters tried to explain: 

Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time to make her 

think she'd fallen from the sky? 

A whirlwind spun them all alone, took them from their twilight home. 

Believing they came from a star.


Eager to please was just the way that he was 

though his attempts there falling short, 

expectation 

see he would tell of all his conquests, 

was he bragging? 

but in the evening all alone 

Ellen unplanned delays 

saving for someone who really cared about you 

invincible they say 

married to your name 

she was the kind between a child and a lady, 

quick was her temper 

like a blaez from an ember 

no one had measured to her standard, 

so in the evening all alone all alone 

how do I tell them to open their minds 

and to take a chance 

maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set 

in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
