Worn out stockings, high heeled shoes
She pays the price and now she's singin' the blues
All alone out in the rain
She waits for strangers to take her away
Deep in the night by the citylights
She poses for losers but they pass her by
No one to talk to, nobody cares
And nobody listens
She's so lonely, she's so sad
She stares at the ceiling when she's in her bed
She empties a bottle and dreams away
About her childhood in the good ol' days
Deep in the night, tears in her eyes
She gets down on losers by the dashboardlights
No one to cling
The Gathering
I'm waiting for your hands
to fold around my wrist
I'm mellowing in warm grass
and the scent of you I've missed
And blue is representing
the draft in my heart
I'm wandering through thin skies
and the transparent air I've missed
Pale is my face
you might want to colour
while I breathe
I'm following large drops of rain
with my eyes on the sight of you I've missed
Pale is my face
you might want to colour
while I breathe
