Lost at the Fair Songtext
von Fall in Green

Help, my mother is lost
Among the swarm clatter, the organ-grind blinks
Of bits of rainbow bulbs broken and fizzed
Among drunk′d hens that stagger and jeer
Eye-ink bleeding a blind calamity


Help, my mother is lost here
Have you seen her?
A blur of hope and Sunday mornings
Of school-gate joy
Of catch-your-death scarf
Of Christmas
Of always-there

Gone

The ghost-train man grabs me
His ride hurls a threnody over the sea
Seeking the place where my tiny hand was last gripped
And released, to fall away
Like rain's attenuating clatter
Into melted drains

"Mummy! I want my mummy!"
A spider′s harp sings "Help me!"

Where is she?
