    One Girl Town

    Wandering around
    this heartless town 
    restless and aching to write 
    a letter to you all about you 
    to say that I love you 
    but it’s too soon to tell 

    In the haze of disguise how can I exist 
    in styles, signals and signs? 
    Fire trucks racing to a scene far away 
    everyone’s racing 
    to a scene far away 

    One girl town 

    Faces march by with artillery eyes 
    waging a new war called doubt 
    It raises the soldiers from the trenches 
    of my echoing 
    battle-stained past 

    In this one girl town 
    One girl town 
    One girl town

    And the rain keeps falling 
    and the sky is rarely blue 

    A traffic light squints tempting my stride 
    but I don’t dare a step forward 
    Cowards dismantle my courage 
    Seasoned destroyers 
     and counterfeit friends 
      
    Turning around a voice in the crowd 
    is mine for the very first time 
    pouring a sidewalk of freedom and fire 
    Everything ending 
    is where I begin 

    And the rain keeps falling 
    and the sky is rarely blue 

    One girl town 
    One girl town 
    One girl town 
    One girl town 
    One girl town
