Mandalay

In Mandalay, we lost our way
Where once we found a home

The garden was in twilight
And the weeds were overgrown

The statues were in shadow
The windows cracked and bare
In Mandalay you faced away
Without a care

In Mandalay we once felt safe
So warm in black and white

The bonfire of the vanities
Where love was set alight

The boy was staring down at me
Through gabled window panes
A part of me still trapped inside
With Mandalay in flames
