Lyrics:

When she frowned
in the dark
he never saw
A lonely patience
had scared her tongue
and her heart
was raw

Dull intentions
desperate
of something to last
She was a kind, old
beggar lady
eating her meals
on depression glass

chorus:

She's mistaken his
words for truths
and his smiles
for generosity
Now she bore
unfortunate news
she would jump
into the sea...
and leave
and leave

When he held her close
at the time when he did,
she spent her time
as a ghost
fading away from him

Cast into the water
from a boat that was
long past
She came to realize
he wasn't coming,
and what she needed
was a sturdy raft

Chorus

bridge:

One, two, three, four
She gave all she could
but he only wanted more
or not...
enough.

Chorus (slight variation)

  • Hi Amber,

    That was wonderful! I am guessing that there is a big Joni Mitchell influence. Lyrics, melody, analogy.... All great. Nice finger-picking!
