Sister, I knew her well
One of those girls always running and hiding
Scared and alone
Surrounded by people yet so far away
...
Remember when you asked if I were ready to run
Remember the scorching smell of the gun
Faces burned in memory for nightmares to come
Keep on drinking till the memories don't come
...
Starligt starbright O I've wished on you many nights
Starlight starbright you always make it right
I can't remember life before you, my star
Tomorrow I won't remember the desperation
...
From the first dawns of spring to the closing eves of fall
I could stay
I could sit and listen forever to your songs
Always you've been here
...
Cold and dreary, dark and alone
Wind wailing thru the icy night
Dragging on and on
So reluctant to leave
...
She looks into his eyes and says I love you
Does the things every good girl should do
But her mind, it's somewhere north of here
And I believe her heart is too
...
Are you lost
Left in that small desert town
Are you lost
The world chewed you up and spit you out
...
I sit in silence, watching the remains of night fade away
And I think of you
I whisper your name to the morning
No one to hear but the wind, trees, and me
...
Second to one
I am
Almost as a middle man
Second to one
...
