It started with a simple little riff and ended.... God knows where... Folk-Prog? Prog-waltz? Never mind, it was great fun :)

Story behind the song
I came up with a little riff and played it several times, before I found out it was in 5/8. I heard the name Helen in my head when I played the riff, so I came up with this story of a young woman. She is pretty confused and sees herself as on outsider, but actually she is just a human being like the rest of us. None of us have a clue :)
Lyrics
Helen, thinks she's crazy, but she's really just confused.
Helen, trusted someone, but was terribly abused.
Helen, wants a baby, she would like to start anew.
She likes Margarita - Selfies on the media.
Wanting to be special - Longing to be social.
Blind to those who love her - Thinking they're above her.
What has happened?, she said. Is this all that I get?
Uuuhhh...
Helen, had her baby, now shes having number two.
Helen, thinks its wonderful and I think so too!
Helen, says she's happy, but she's really just amused.
Helen, plays a card, I wonder which one she'll choose?
Helen, she's so lovely - Both in mind and body.
People show their envy - And it makes her angry!
Puts on tons of make-up - Showing that she won't stop.
What is too much?, she said. This is all that you get!
Uuuhhh...
Helen get's married tonight.
To, in shining armor, a knight!
They're such a wonderful sight.
And she's happy at least for tonight..
