|
A lone car stopped as I walked home that night |
|
I ignored all the warnings a young lady hears |
|
By the time that I knew what he had on his mind |
|
It was too far for screaming and too cold for tears |
|
Too far for screaming and too cold for tears |
|
I waited three months for my story to tell |
|
When the stares fell on me as I started to show |
|
My mother said she wasn't surprised that I fell |
|
My friends said "She never hitched rides home before" |
|
"We never seen her hitching a ride home before." |
|
I see all the girls down at the hair salon |
|
They think I don't know which man got me this way |
|
But the boys at the bar all know how they got on |
|
Still I only know him by face but not name |
|
Never since seen his face, and I don't know his name |
|
Solutions are posed with a whispering fear |
|
How "those doctors have no morals, and besides; |
|
It'd cost you too much if you like living here; |
|
With doors open, courts closed and all smiles |
|
Supplied." |
|
Doors open, courts closed and all smiles supplied |
|
When the time comes for me to hold that child to my breast |
|
Will I feel only love or will my heart hold doubt? |
|
Will I too see his face like I do when in rest? |
|
All whiskey-fire breath with his hand on my mouth |
|
His whiskey-fire breath with one hand on my mouth |
|
A lone car stopped as I walked home that night |
|
I ignored all the warnings a young lady hears |
