Where She Lies
In the early morning rain
he gently slips away again.
Leaves her lying on her side
still believing all his lies
and what he whispered in her ears
all the things she hoped to hear.
Then he gave her all his love
and promises sworn to God above.
But now, it’s time for him to go
before she wakes, before she knows
He’ll hit the dusty roads of sins.
The roads, where he’s the one who wins.
On that dusty road ahead
he’s sure to find another bed
another girl from the field
another girl who’ll quickly yield.
Then, in the early morning rain
he’ll gently slip away again.
He’ll leave her lying on her side
still believing all his lies
trusting in his gentle love
and promises he swore above.
Then, it’s time for him to go
before she wakes before she knows.
Back to the dusty roads of sins
the roads, where he’s the one who wins.
On that dusty road ahead
he’ll surely find another bed.
Perhaps, a tavern to quench his thirst.
Love can wait. His throat comes first.
Then, she waltzed into his life
The girl he thought could be his wife.
He knew at once they’d never part.
her blue eyes burned into his heart.
She grabbed his hand and made him dance.
She smelled of love and sweet romance.
She whispered words into his ears
everything he wished to hear.
She promised love forever sweet.
She danced and swept him off his feet.
She got a room to spend the night.
This time he thought he’d do things right.
Their love was fresh, their love was deep.
Before long, they were both asleep.
In the dark hours of the new day
she once again, gently, slips away.
Leaves him lying on his side
filled with belief of her poisoned lies
but, it was time for her to go
before he wakes, before he knows.
Back onto her dusty road to hell
she stole his money and his keys, as well.
