The car bristled with silence
That summer morning
Thoughts unspoken burned
so violent, a fiery warning
That you were slipping out of sight
Slowly Sinking
Like a noteless suicide
I said nothing. I didn't know
Which way to go. 
I couldn't grow in your shadow
In a storm of loneliness
I was disappearing
The sad light of your life 
You watched it fading 
A ghost in your garden 
Was I so frightening? 
Shedding childhood like a snake
As quick as listening 

You didn't know
Girls have to grow 
I was aglow, I had to go
The wolves waitin' in the woods 
Were sure good loking 
The lure of their lairs 
Was so liberating
But troubled hands and lips 
Leave a hungry feeling
There are no moon or stars
In a low, dark ceiling 
I didn't know 
How the river would flow 
My ribbons and bows 
Lay in the meadow
I felt so low, I didn't know
How to say no, I felt so low
I didn't know, but now I know
