when i saw her there
but the lines round her eyes seemed
to tell of the lies and the sad despair
it's commonly known it's commonly known she invited me in and her breath smelled of gin
as she opened the door

i'm gonna give you all i can with a tear on her face she said
i'm locked in a race and i'm gonna lose
then she looked in my eyes and i soon realized
