One Girl Cried

In a room just like so many

Knives and forks and glasses clatter

He sat behind a microphone

In a corner where it didn't matter

For honest pay an honest player

Sang for tips and vacant stares

On a nowhere night like any other

In a nowhere place where no one cares

She took a seat at an empty table

Looked at the specials on the menu there

She'd been out of love for the longest time

Told her friends she didn't care

But from his list he picked a sad one

Because his heart was empty too

And the song she heard was like an arrow

From Cupid's bow it fairly flew

And one girl cried to a melody that turned around her soul

One girl cried amazed at how the lyric took it's toll

There beside a little table she thought she was safe alone

But the music hit it's mark when one girl cried

People try to make things happen

They plant a seed to make it grow

They choose a crop to fit the climate

Till the soil into a row

But these two people had it different

More like bees on a flower vine

Instinct told them where to wander

Without a map they made out fine

Remember there's a hundred failures

For every seed that sprouts and grows

It's rare to find the right conditions

These things only nature knows

But miracles are bound to happen

And these two might just pass the test

And get the care and love they need

To carry on for all the rest

And one girl cried to a melody that turned around her soul

One girl cried amazed at how the lyric took it's toll

There beside a little table she thought she was safe alone

But the music hit it's mark when one girl cried
