The Girl From Kansas (Angel of Sadness)
The girl from Kansas asked
“And you would never hurt me?”
The voice of sadness replied
I mean I would never hurt you intentionally
But eventually
My selfishness and bitterness would run you away
Then again, alone, you would lay
The girl from Kansas asked
“I’ll be you know how to treat a lady”
The voice of sadness replied
Would you like me to hold your hand?
When we sit, would you like my pride to stand
Would you have me
Kiss you just above you forehead
Every night before you drift off
And softly whisper I love you
When even in my nightmares
I only think of you
You want this why?
I’m no perfect lover
I don’t know how to hold you when you cry
The girl from Kansas asked
“Why not give it a shot?”
The voice of sadness replied
Where do we go from here
I wanna hold you, I wanna console you, but I’m afraid
It’s your tears I fear
