I wrote this song in 2018, inspired by a torn up drawing. You can watch another version with some of my drawings here
• glitter - original song with drawings Words:
Dazzling beauty that comes off,
Comes off when you touch it,
Comes off like dust on a mantelpiece.
Stick to your fingertips,
like GLITTER.
When I was a child, I was afraid of touching butterflies.
So I tried to trap one in a net.
To make her beauty my special pet.
My brother told me butterflies only lived for a day.
So I opened my net and set her free.
And watched in wonder as her intricate pattern
Dazzled in the sunlight as she flitted away.
Back in my room, I picked at the glitter that stuck to my fingertips.
They came off.
Oh yes they came off.
Only to stick to my other fingertips.
That night, I went to bed with my fingertips glittery.
Glittery like stars in the night sky.
I reached out my hand to catch one,
with the glitter still on my fingertips.
