I wrote this one about a neglected girl growing up in an alcoholic household.
Thanks for listening and any comments. Thanks to Keith for everything, especially the help with the lyrics. I feel much better about this now.

It was summer
She lay awake in the middle of the night
Waiting for his headlights on the ceiling
She knew her father
Would be sleeping it off by now
If he was quiet he could slip in through the side door
And in the morning he was gone
And she just lay there all alone
In the morning he was gone
And she just lay there all alone
In the winter
She was falling through the cracks
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
She watched her father
Drinkin' away the days
Waiting for a prince to come and save her
And in the morning she stayed home
Waiting all alone
In the morning she stayed home
Waiting all alone
The next summer
She was picking up the pieces
Trying to make sense of it all
There was no other
Who could put it back together
It was up to her to take care of herself
And in the morning she was gone
Before anybody knew she left home
In the morning she was gone
Before anybody knew she left home x2
