Wendy o you were made of commotion

You're the wire that sparked the things that burned

I believe, I believe in the story of the ocean

Every tide will turn

The light of the day will surely come

To turn the tables when we're done

Who leaps like fire can fall like rain

Wendy O were you nobody's daughter

Before you were born to the stage

Was the ink on your skin in the lights growing dim

Like a fish out of water

Was there nothing you could save

Chorus

Wendy O read your name in the paper

Two hundred words to say you're gone, gone, gone

Said you moved to the woods

Hope the birds understood you were able

To light up, to light up a song

Chorus
