Denton, TX

She walked in with sadness in her eyes

I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars

'Well hello I'm dawn...'

'Yes I've seen you around...'

'I just live down from here...'

She has a dad she doesn't know

Who sends her letters with no return address...

'I don't know his name...'

'He don't know my face...'

'I am better off this way...'

On the weekends I drive her into town

In a car that I borrowed from my mom

She makes hotel beds

Where the sidewalks end

And I wait for her to come home...

Please come home

The one day she finally stops coming around

My best friend said she probably moved out of town

Not a letter was sent...

Not a phone call was made

And I hope she comes back here

Someday
