[Verse]

You could tell from the sound of her voice

That she ran all the way out of life

She's so silent, she's cold as a stone

With no word she leaves on her own



You could see in the dress that she wears

Dark of night, glowing all shades of gray,

She's so sad, said the smile on her face

Then it flew, could not bare the disgrace



[Chorus]

And she's a wounded bird

She's another victim of yours



[Verse]

You could see in the whites of his eye

Her reflection when he's walking by

Tied her tongue with every step that he made

There's no way she'd escape from her fate



There she stood waiting for him to strike

And her dress was undone, she resigned

Here's a child who got branded for life

In a house that she used to call home



[Chorus]

And she's a wounded bird

She's another victim of yours



[Verse]

Left a stain on the desk where she worked

Hint of ink witness of her despair

Wrote her own epitaph on a sheet

That was found hanging from her feet
