lyrics

There’s a room of tin that she sits in
Where the smoke is fat and the lies are thin
She’s the youngest one she’s not old by far
She’s the brightest star with the deepest scar

One by one against the wall
It takes years to forget them all
And then years of hope the end will soon begin

There’s a field of snow where she had to go
When the ice blows through, then she thinks of you
With the headlights on at the crack of dawn
But your door was closed and she nearly froze
One by one they’re in the street
Trying to knock her off her feet
Lead her to the start and never let her go

The sky’s so high and the wall’s so tall
She can’t see her self at all
You’re so low that your love don’t show
Will you pay the fine to undraw the line?

There are men in here whom she’s learned to fear
When you dream out loud, seems to draw a crowd
She’s the saddest pearl that’s been fed to swine
Drink her up like wine, have her back by nine

One by one they’re on the loose
And she’s all but tied the noose
Would you break her fall?
Will you catch her if you can?

The sky’s so high and the wall’s so tall
She can’t see her self at all
You’re so low that your love don’t show
Will you pay the fine to undraw the line?
