A Hand To Hold

she talked to me with a sunset of sorrows in her face tried to reassure but to no avail she just needed to hear someone care and you really cant blame hard enough to find a hand to hold in these cold days she kicked open the door and erupted out into the cool night air with loud proclamation of innocence but the few took notice hard enough to find a clean slate to start over with gotta make do with rewriting your own dark history's put a few smiley faces in there for good measure aint nobody keepin' score she leaned back in the passenger seat waiting to see where desperation was gonna take her so she pushes the apprentice of shadows who was waiting for a loose maiden to rescue for an escape from the dullness of the day cause its hard enough to find distraction in your own head from the long road and tricky questions so she will latch onto his madness for a while cause its better than being alone
