William Shirley

William Shirley (2 December 1694 – 24 March 1771) was a British Army officer and colonial administrator who served as the governor of the British American colonies of Massachusetts Bay and the Bahamas. He is best known for his role in organizing the successful capture of Louisbourg during King George's War, and for his role in managing military affairs during the French and Indian War.

I thought you were a bluebird that could soar to California, on the summer winds that warmed you in the sky
I walked the dirt I came from, you danced softly in the sunlight, I was grounded but I loved to watch you fly
I thought you were a mountain standing tall above the tree line, a narrow path so step to reach your heart
You blocked the way with boulders and with storms, I had no shelter, you always keep our distance miles apart
You have no song to sing to me, no mocking bird on a gentle breeze
No melody to frame our last sunset
The moon was drowning in the clouds when the darkness let me see somehow
You were leaving from the moment that we met
I thought you were an actress with a road so many dreamed of, played a part rehearsed so many times
You cast me in the story like an extra never worthy, I played the fool and followed all your lines
You must be Cinderella with a slipper in a castle, you can look down at the lonely in the field
Or maybe you're like Snow White with a different man for each night, so you never have to find something that's real
You have no song to sing to me, no mocking bird on a gentle breeze
No melody to frame our last sunset
The moon was drowning in the clouds when the darkness let me see somehow
You were leaving from the moment that we met
The moon was drowning in the clouds when the darkness let me see somehow
You were leaving from the moment that we met
You were leaving from the moment that we met
