She lays her head on

her pillow

says her prayers

with no sound

there's a shadow

by her window

telling her

there'll be no one else

to know

Silent crying

for a childhood

gone by

she's slowly dying

with the secret

she hides

close to her heart



Another night left

to eternity

another memory

to deny

she counts her dolls

tries to forget about

what no one else

will ever know



Silent crying

for a childhood

gone by

she's slowly dying

with the secret

she hides



What no one else

will ever know



Silent crying

for a childhood

gone by

she's slowly dying

with the secret

she hides

Silent crying

if she dared

she would find

the word she

dreams of

but the word

passes by.
