This struck me a my friends party as someone sat in the corner half smashed
making toasts to any that walked by. Tragic really. This is for Anna, who
sacrificed everything to stop me doing something stupid. Love feedback
always.

Charge your glasses for the heroes
The one's whose hearts will shatter
Drink in pity for those
Who will never be the same
Hold your glass above your head
For the songs that are forever silenced
Pause a while with your cigarette
For the fallen angels flying through the sky
Loll in the sorrow
Of his dazed envisions sparkling dim
Look forward towards the deep eclipse
And through the mists where shadows lie
Where dying flames flicker farewell
Drink the bottle raw and clean
As passing footsteps thud on wet pavement
Lastly before the intoxication sets in
Make a toast to a dying dream finally lost
As it faded into nighttime
Reluctantly restlessly crying without a sound
Here's to the boy,
The very strange, enchanted boy.
