She walked in with sadness in her eyes I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars "Well hello I am dawn..." "Yes I've seen you around..." "And I just live down from here" She has a dad she does not know Who sends her letters with no return address "I don't know his name..." "He don't know my face..." "I am better off this way" On the weekends when I drive her into town In a car that I borrowed from my mom She makes hotel beds Where the sidewalk ends And I wait for her to come home Please come home Then one day she finally stopped coming around My best friend said she probably moved out of town Not a letter was sent Not a phone call was made And I hope she comes back here Someday
