Calendar Girl-Stars

If I am lost for a day; try to find me.
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me.
All of the things that I thought were so easy
Just got harder and harder each day.

December is darkest and June is the light,
but this empty bedroom won't make anything right.
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night:

Calendar girl, who's in love with the world, stay alive
Calendar Girl, who's in love with the world, stay alive

I dreamed I was dying, as I so often do,
And when I awoke I was sure it was true.
I ran to the window, threw my head to the sky
And said, "Whoever is up there, please don't let me die."

But I can't live forever; I can't always be.
One day I'll be sand on a beach by a sea.
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross,
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost.

Calendar Girl, who is lost to the world, stay alive.
Calendar Girl, who is lost to the world, stay alive.

January, February, March, April, May I'm alive.
June, July, August, September,October I'm alive.
November, December, you all through the winter, I'm alive.

I'm alive.
