Lessons In Love

One lonely girl walks 
Across bridges alone
Her songs an escape
Her silence a home

She twiddles her thumbs
she looks down from above
So full of magic
And so full of love

There she goes thinking
Her timing is bad
Torn in the places
She never knew she had

With whispers of wonder
And silence in song
She can't help but notice
That something went wrong

Now her duet's a solo
Her ties unbound
She suddenly wishes
She'd never been found
