The Black Sorrows - A Place In The World lyrics

She sleeps alone Church bells ring out of key Summon her onto the streets She walks so gainfully Tokens of love placed in a drawer Kept sealed for ever more Once there was hope Faint light upon a distant shore Too late for tears The well dried up years ago Young men can purchase her smiles Their reputations grow Lovers and dreams get tossed away She leaves them where they lay Put your best face on girl Go take your place in the world Pitiful sights, she could write a symphony Treacherous nights, carved into her memory Vows made in bed, better left unsaid
