Lonely
On lonely streets she walks at night
Looking to turn a trick
How sad the story destiny will write
She hopes it passes quick
She uses drugs to numb the pain
that comes with fading light
And on the streets she roams again
As strangers she invites
On lonely streets she walks no more
She'd overdosed the night before
No tears were shed for her sad plight
Just painful echoes of eternal night
