Lyrics
Austen…
Austen…
You’re up again — “one chapter more” —
the same slow rain, the same grey shore.
You know the end before it lands:
the letter comes, he takes her hands.
I’ve read it through a hundred nights,
my eyes give out, I dim the lights.
But you don’t blink — I’ve lost the thread:
you’re living where I’ve only read.
At school — her portrait on the wall,
the bonnet, ribbon — that was all.
An A, a paper due today,
and “what the author meant to say.”
She lay in marble, out of reach,
a name they made the classroom teach,
until, alone, you turned a page
and saw yourself — a girl your age.
Austen — rain, ball, laughter,
Austen — and your smile right after.
Austen — on the wall, half-drawn,
Austen — and in you, a dawn.
Austen — mud, hem, pride and pen!
Austen — and you’re awake again.
Austen…
and you’re awake again.
