she raises up her hand
is it a fist or a farewell?
she's leaving at the first sign of trouble
the way things stand, it's just as well...
some things are forgotten
some things are lost
one thing's a given...
that's no way to live-
unforgiven...
she keeps her lists in good order
she taps her pencil, makes a mark.
she's not forgotten not one single one
she counts them like sheep in the dark
some dreams are crazy
some are not dreams at all
one thing is a given-
that's no way to live...
unforgiven...
it's the way that you fight when the walls come down
it's a sign, it's a light in some dark mountain town
it's the last thing you see when you lay your head down to sleep...
She wonders how it all started
She thinks about changing her name
but just like weapons of mass destruction
there's always someone to blame
winter is falling thru a hole in the sky
one thing's a given
that's no way to live...
it's the way that you fight when the walls come down
it's a sign, it's a light in some dark mountain town
it's the last thing you see when you lay your head down to sleep...
down to sleep...
