3
In the shelter
4
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
5
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
6
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
7
Lonely princess
8
All the days out on your own are growing empty
9
Nothing is going well
10
If you could only tell them how you feel
11
They're too real to understand
12
Chorus:
13
Too many trite expressions
14
Ending in forced rejections long ago
15
Too many innocent faces
16
Too many far out places something's wrong
17
Let me tell you that something's wrong
18
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
19
On the street car
20
To the city where she knows that she might lose it all
21
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
22
And knowing well this could be her final fall
23
Past the boutique
24
Down the alley to the river, people pass her by
25
Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks
26
And knowing what she will do next just starts to cry
27
Chorus:
28
Too many small suggestions
29
Endin' in angry questions from her dad
30
Too many T.V. dinners
31
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
32
No one knows the trials she had
33
In the shelter
34
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
35
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
36
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
37
Lord, I just don't know, but I can't go back home.
