I saw a girl that resembled my own similar hair similar frame body movements similar same familiar voice familiar frame but when I looked into her eyes when I looked into her eyes she wasn't there the girl I know the girl with the green eyed broken smile stare wasn't there the girl that writes to me the girl that calls me hun the girl that calls me Romeo wasn't there wasn't there recognized familiarized wasn't there wasn't there and I saw him the one with the girl that was a stranger empty empty black eyes, black hair, black beard black as coal only there only there not for the songs but only for the tail that was there with a coal eyed black eyed stare show stopped, show dropped, show dropped, to my request, to my song, my song, my song, living breathing in between, in between, in between the lines the story goes the story goes the road goes to this to me the man with God in I-tal-i-an shoes the man with the style like Ce-za-nne and this girl no matter where she goes she's still all alone got her hair done all alone wearing tight blue jeans all alone could hardly breathe all alone her mother is still in heaven looking good, looking down Daddy says they'll meet again while their daughter is all alone good Lord knows good Lord knows good Lord knows there's only one road into heaven but the girl is here shedding alcohol tears and mascara smears and I can't change her mind I can't change her mind while I'm living under these stones I use remove I use lifting these heavy chest stones watching her drive away there she goes there she goes under the moonlight all alone no matter who she's with she's all alone I'm building my own bridge and she's all alone while I'm building a bridge that's all my own I find my way I found my way I found my way over the bridge I'm home and she's out there she's out there with him she's the one out there all alone [This message has been edited by martiniat8 (11-06-2009 10:46 PM).] |

A poignant write. There isn't much more one can do than be there if the 'out there alone' one returns seeking solace. |
