song with no music
Singer:fargo, donna
she stood there lookin' in the mirror that discarded the reflection
of the women she had pictured in her mind
and the make-up almost hid the traces of the wear and tear of life
on her face that you could read between the lines
about the unfulfilled dream that she spoke to me about friendly
as if i were the only friend she had
and as i listened to her quietly talk about her life to me
not knowing what to say i felt bad
she sang a song with no music and words with no melody
of all the bitter seasons of life
she was an unloved daughter
but was left off an unwanted wife
between the pills and the red wine her her metallic conversation
left her somewhere between now and then
when the cycle of unhappiness was born in her and reborn
like the love that died again and again
just someone to love and love her
married too young and no too much very well
didn't know how to rise and love 'em
'cause she never had never been raised to love much herself
she sang a song with no music and words with no melody
of all the bitter seasons of life
she was an unloved daughter
but was left off an unwanted wife
i felt sorry and i wished i could help her
she couldn't even help herself
she'd been too long waitin' for the circle to be broken
it would just have to break with someone else
said i have to leave for boston on an early morning flight
i guess i'd better get myself to bed
i knew i wouldn't sleep away but i left her sippin' on that drink
she reminded me so much of someone else
who sang a song with no music and words with no melody
of all the bitter seasons of life
she was an unloved daughter
but was left off an unwanted wife
