Lyrics

On Your Own

She was everything, every bird that sings in the morn
She had a mind like a child?s, innocent and waiting to be born
She burst open like a flower, springing into bloom
Not knowing what would follow, a rare and different tune
and the path that she would step on
would bring her misfortune all too soon

With Thompson premonitions, she sauntered off into the night
convinced of her mission, certain that the world was hers tonight
She burst open like a raincloud, pouring on the road
not knowing that a lifestyle could captivate your soul
Though your hands may be on the wheel
You?re not always in control

Tell me the secret, tell me once to my ear
Say it softly through a whisper, so no one else can hear
Sure, I?m O.K., this is a brand new day
What do you mean when you say the ebbing tide is near?

Don?t patronize me you cannot be a freak without a smile
I?d say your an eccentric but I know it?s not your style
He made her laugh though he sometimes made her cry
she needed him though she often wondered why
and she did not understand
?til the day she said good-bye

The problem with horizons is they never seem to end
The plight of loss continues, there?s never time to mend
You leave with a teardrop and the setting of the sun
You?d seen it in the movies it seemed like so much fun
But for them it was an ending,
and for you it?s just begun

Tell me the secret, scream it loud so I can hear
It started with ambition now I?m alone with the fear
Things have changed, I don?t feel the same
who can accept the blame for things that are real?

Now she turns and hopes for someone but there is nothing there
Just the winding road behind her and the cool desert air
It?s a hard road to find out when you?re standing all alone
that there is no secret to living on your own
You?ll find no stable shelter
beneath a rolling stone.
