Cut through the country

Speed through the dark

A child in a train, tristessa departs

It's only the start

Filigree circles round her young wrist

Her mother is frowning

At something she missed

She fixes her hair

At the failing of the day she

Heard her father always say

"Remember, it's only the start"

When she drifted off to sleep

She had the whole world at her feet

Because it's only the start

Before they fell away it seemed

To matter all the same

But it was only the start

It's only the start
