Lost Girl Part 3
By smilinmike Goodliffe
21st CenturyLost girl flying way up high in the night sky
On who's bed last night did you land on and lie ?
Need and lean on
Tonight's lies that you'll feed on
Tomorrow you will bleed on
Lost girl
Where were you going ?
With all that weight you were towing
Your throwing away all that your knowing
It's showing
Lost girl
Smiles too much at strangers
Spends her days looking for danger
I cry
But I can't change her
My heart won't exchange her
I am in love with a lost girl in danger
All alone she has fell
Like a child down a well
Ignorant men toss down coins and make wishes
Steal kisses
Leaving hits and misses
They play
Then walk away
Leaving her to drown
Down underground
But the girl only sees the skies above her
Not the water that surrounds her
It will drown her
Maybe before I have found her
I pray she loves herself enough to look around her
Remembering the little boy who dreams about her
I would die to return him to her
I believe only he can remove her
See right through her
Show her the lies of the world that surrounds her
She could fly back up high
See the chains that have bound her
Lost girl
Since the day that I first met you
I saw the path ahead that beset you
And even when you hurt me
I could not regret you
It is so hard for me to love you like this
In complete unconditionalness
Without even a single kiss
I patiently wait
All alone
With my heart
That you own
