Girl

Girl
Don’t hide your face from nothing
Pull your hair back
Don’t worry you’re alone

Dance
The music, the spotlight
Dancing body
Naked and alone

She’s waiting for her man
Waiting for her man
Waiting for her man
To come home

She sits around by her window, night after night
Wearing red taffeta, face painted white
Weighing heavy she sways, the music’s her mind
Talking to no one, she looks in their eyes
She peeks from the blinds
Disappears in the night
But leaves on the light
Girl Child
Wild, knowing
Faceless angel
Reflections not her own
She’s naked and alone

She’s waiting for her man
Waiting for her man
She’s waiting for her man
To come home
