Earth 3rd Rock from the sun!!

0 posted 2000-07-21 03:49 PM


twilight
dimmming of the sun
child on the run
no where to hide
curled in a corner
of some back alleyway
thinking she's got no place to stay
afraid of going home
scared to be alone
she faces the night
clutching her worn cardigan
she used to laugh out load
at everyones jokes
she used to tell a few of her own
she used to smile wide
just to step outside
her eyes would light up
with each little surprise
now deep and dark and out of reach
she has become to me
what shes' searching for
doesn't come easy
though she struggles on, day to day,
not knowing what will come her way
though she thinks she has nothing to live for
she has been here before
she watched him when he hung up
his cowboy hat
left it there and that was that
and she liked it when he tickled her at first
then it began to hurt
hasn't got forgiveness in her heart
her tiny soul has been torn apart
the angels will find her
give her a refuge
peaceful solitude
the angels, her only restitude
has to be the angels
coming after her
only the angels can save her now
just the angels lifting her up
off from the ground
please come the angels
only the angels
can free her soul
just the angels
do you think she knows?

This is a song I wrote in the middle of the night
while listening to Sheryl Crow....I am very inspired by her music......I hope you enjoyed it...< !signature-->

What a wonderful gift you have to write songs...reminds me also of a song by Beth Hart called "L.A. song"...James

Julia,

Nice song!!  You have been wonderfully inspired.  Like this one a lot.
