There's a light that shines on Persephone,

Always a fire in her eyes,

And the last time that I went to her

I could tell things weren't right.



I just don't care to see your years go wasting,

There's no longer magic in your eyes.



In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,

But your off-stage ways might be a bore -

You take a bow, you take a fall.



I came to be here in the footlights,

To live with you through every song,

And your face displays a peaceful field.

I can't believe the curtain has to fall.



Now I know your years were never wasted,

Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
