In a minor key

Based on "girl in a chemise" by picasso

a lonesome girl stands blank and still
she waits alone in bitter chill

for love once in her joyful years
has withered now to mournful tears

her life was once a carefree sigh
a gentle song, a lullaby

but as her love was torn away
her once bright world faded to gray

now her woeful tune echoes in the dark
in the shadows of her vacant heart

she sings a song of misery
of hopelessness and agony

abandoned in a world of grief
lost forever in her disbelief

left to wander aimlessly
singing her unheard melody
