I would sing my rescitation
Of organdy and gown
I can feel my hesitation
Slowly breaking down

A song for Suzie
That plays on my mind
A poem for Lucy
That changes with time

You will colour my picture
By as much as you need
I may paint you just a little brighter
Than you really have been

A song for Suzie
That plays on my mind
A poem for Lucy
That changes with time

So for Suzie I'm praying
For the peace of your mind
And for Lucy I'm staying here
In the circus of rhyme

A song for Suzie
(Don't let your light)
Don't let your light burn down, oh
A poem for Lucy
(Wait till your time)
Wait till your time comes round
