on the beach
They were eager to learn

Radiating with joy,

And luckily she still can't

His hair dances in the wind

And why it has to end

anything that you have heard

She can't admit her jealousy

Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how

Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock

But he's not coming back

her ex-lover their father

her three into the ocean
