Lady of the Night. ( Out of need)
It\'s 4:00 on a cold morning and it\'s raining hard again.
The rain is lashing against my old misty windowpanes.
I can see halfway down the road under the streetlight.
There stands little Mary, one of the ladies of the night.
Little Mary will always be found there, come rain or shine.
Just trying to survive not really committing any crime.
Mary’s daughter she has left with a friend safely indoors.
Mary herself when on the street is never safe and secure.
Every night she rolls the dice and risks again being abused.
To make some old man happy in her red high heeled shoes.
As ladies of the night go, Mary appears reasonably cheap.
It keeps the old men curb crawling all the way up the street.
Every new customer another piece of her is taken by a man.
She is risking everything and putting her life in their hands.
All this danger and worry just to earn some money on the side.
To be able to pay some bills and feed and clothe her only child.
Try putting yourself in Mary\'s shoes, why not give it a try.
How far would you go, how far would you go to survive.
Next time you see Little Mary and you wish her ill feeling.
Remember she\'s doing her best and she is still a human being.
