A pillow lays on cold cement
A blanket by a broken vent
She's there a while
And then she's gone
I'm away for weeks
Arrive at night
She hears my steps
Turns off the light and runs
No mind at all, more space than I need
It's just me among the weeds
Among the ghosts
Among the leaves
We've never met but she's a girl
Romance paper books
The floor is covered
In long blonde curls
On afternoons I walk the graves
The rusted cars, the mine shaft caves
See a girl sadly unkempt
A child of neglect
Under moons I pass the tombs
Cross the highways, smell the fumes
See a girl frighteningly gaunt
Somebody didn't want
How do I tell her I don't care
If she sleeps downstairs?
A blanket by a broken vent
She's there a while
And then she's gone
I'm away for weeks

She hears my steps
Turns off the light and runs
No mind at all, more space than I need
It's just me among the weeds
Among the ghosts
Among the leaves
We've never met but she's a girl

The floor is covered
In long blonde curls
On afternoons I walk the graves
The rusted cars, the mine shaft caves
See a girl sadly unkempt
A child of neglect
Under moons I pass the tombs
Cross the highways, smell the fumes
See a girl frighteningly gaunt
Somebody didn't want
How do I tell her I don't care
If she sleeps downstairs?
