Sitting on that second star
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
