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...'

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
