sitting on that second stair in that lovely dress she wears painted by her own hand she watches watches hanky full of gems and stones she s ready for the open road will she wait and watch for the light across the river undesired hanky full of gems and stones she s ready for the open road will she wait and watch for the light across the river terrified you can t open your eyes to a muddy water enterprise you are terrified it won t do you no good it won t do you no good out of the depths all by herself her heart full and emptiness will gather dust on second stair watch the winter disappear her heart full and emptiness will gather dust on second stair watch the winter disappear her heart full of love
