[00:08.85]In the shelter
[00:10.46]
[00:12.72]In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
[00:18.29]
[00:22.63]I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
[00:29.84]I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
[00:34.66]
[00:37.02]Lonely princess
[00:38.91]
[00:41.03]All the days out on your own are growing empty
[00:46.85]
[00:51.31]Nothing is going well
[00:53.53]
[00:55.16]If you could only tell them how you feel
[00:59.39]
[01:00.64]They're too real to understand
[01:03.48]
[01:07.27]Too many trite expressions
[01:09.97]
[01:11.33]Ending in forced rejections long ago
[01:15.49]
[01:19.31]Too many innocent faces
[01:21.93]
[01:23.21]Too many far out places something's wrong
[01:27.48]
[01:28.75]Let me tell you that something's wrong
[01:31.75]
[01:33.03]It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
[01:38.63]
[01:41.43]On the street car
[01:43.18]
[01:45.16]To the city where she knows that she might lose it all
[01:51.43]
[01:55.18]Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
[02:01.81]And knowing well this could be her final fall
[02:07.37]
[02:09.31]Past the boutique
[02:10.87]
[02:13.19]Down the alley to the river, people pass her by
[02:19.59]
[02:22.90]Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks
[02:29.86]And knowing what she will do next just starts to cry
[02:35.47]
[02:39.35]Too many small suggestions
[02:42.17]
[02:43.44]Endin' in angry questions from her dad
[02:47.52]
[02:51.26]Too many T.V. dinners
[02:54.29]
[02:55.15]And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
[02:59.65]
[03:00.71]No one knows the trials she had
[03:03.66]
[03:05.47]In the shelter
[03:08.01]
[03:09.46]In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
[03:14.97]
[03:19.10]I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
[03:26.21]I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
[03:30.86]
[03:33.47]Lord, I just don't know, but I can't go back home.
