THE ROSE WITHOUT A THORN

‘Robin Hood & His Merry Self’

I wish I’d got the pic when Robin Hood was sat at my table feeding himself on the crumbs of my pain au raisin. The second he spotted my phone facing his way he was off.

THE ROSE WITHOUT A THORN
Never looking backwards, two steps forward, two steps more
I took time out to rescue you from your nightmare from before

You smiled, you cried, you spat out words I never understood
I think you had forgotten that I’m The Pan not Robin Hood

Answer me these questions, don’t be honest just tell me lies
Was it you who stole my shadow? Was my shadow a trophy or a prize?

When the sun gives up on shining and the street lights get reborn
The Dream Rescuer cannot save you; you’re now the rose without a thorn
