Lyrics

There's a new sun arising just out their hotel room, but she won't be seeing daylight until well past noon
She woke up cold again this morning with some room inside her bed
Then asked herself once more: "Am I just a newlywed?"
She surrounds herself with photos as she lies in her underwear
And a future once imagined is now more than she can bear
"It gets easier," a stranger says, then says he's not so sure
"Don't it seem to always be life ain't what thoughts once were?"
She undressed and gave him Heaven
His indifference gave her Hell
But she's forgiven her sweet darlin', this ain't something he does well
Well these streets are getting meaner and the temperature is hot
We all think that we'll make it, though we know that most will not
And she falls asleep then wakes to find she can't recall her dreams
Situations as before, not they're not the same it seems
She takes a stranger's hand and runs with a smile under the moon
'Cause company is all you need when sleep don't come soon
She's been crawling down the hallway 'cause she knows they're both alone
They may both be people somewhere, but tonight they're far from home
So he'll go once more to see her so he can set her free
The most treasured things in life are the ones that you can't keep
And she falls asleep then wakes to find she can't recall her dreams
Situations as before, not they're not the same it seems
She takes a stranger's hand and runs with a smile under the moon
'Cause company is all you need when sleep don't come soon
Soon....
