Sometimes I can't help but feel
All you will ever do...

Not a day goes by
When you don't cross my mind...

My mind melts with your satin words
You leave me in a pool of water...

A timid young girl
Never spoke much...

I want to fall asleep in your arms
And wake up in your eyes...

I was so young
When you asked for my heart...

Your words touch my soul
Time and time again...

You signed away your life
To Uncle Sam and his evil ways...

The crimson petal
Lingering there...

As a little girl
Upon the stairs I sat...

In this hollow place
My pen in hand...

If you stay by my side
My wounds may heal...
