she'd lost it all but never broke a promise 
she'd always have a dream within reach 

she's almost nice to the weak people among us 
a pot of gold to the stranger she meets 
but all the work & all of the hard life 
the money spent 
whatever comes along to pay the rent 

i ask myself how long she will take it 
the love that cannot speak its name to survive 

she never saw too much of any daylight 
a battered dog was her one & only friend 
but all the work & all of the hard life 
that's what she meant 
whatever comes along to pay the rent
