Lost Lady Of The Night
On a mission after graveyard duty
from a prison where she lost her time
she's calling through the pain to weave her story
about mistaken minds.
She comes out of the heart where the tears start running
like a river flowin from the veins
she's lost her lasting expectations
where she played the wrong game
a lost lady of the night.
By the graffiti walls where the night trade calls
she passed the sad moment of truth
now she tries her best to give new direction
to the spoils of youth.
Through the faded halls where the shadows fall
there's a third floor room she turned to
where the night light flames were flickered remains
of a fire passing through
a lost lady of the night.
Bridge:
Her tears fall on a sponge covered future.
her words cry like the wind in the trees
She calls to mind her first vision
a small home by the sea
Now the time has come and it's bitter
and the guests and the score lists are gone
she's thrown away her time and her calling
and she's got to move on.
But the warning's the same the bell tolls again
and the message sounds another day
She's not sure who's gonna listen
but she's gotta have her say.
a lost lady of the night
lost to the night...not coming back... fade
once again, you have amazed me with your talent.
Is this like a ghostly kind of story? Death? I like this poem. Great song.
