There once was a girl with raven hair
Who did everything on a whim
She could sing, she could dance, she could clap her hands
But she never learned to swim
Then, one day, a man came to town
He wasn't very handsome
But he had been all around
He met this girl with the raven hair
But when he left, he left her there
She cried for a while
She grew a darkness within
But then decided she was better off without him
Some time passed and in the same place
Another man came with the same face
But he had a smile that could light up a room
But he never traveled much
So the raven haired girl would look,
Not touch
Soon he left and the darkness grew
Though she never loved man number two
And of course there was man number three
He came to town almost instantly
He met the girl and taught her how to swim
The sweet water erased the darkness within
But somehow, she never got his name
And he left, like the others
But it was not the same
Because now the girl could easily fly
Just not the kind that was done in the sky
