Send "In The Shelter" Ringtone to Cell

In the shelter 
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming 
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? 
I just don't know, but I can't go back home." 

Lonely princess 
All the days out on your own are growing empty 
Nothing is going well 
If you could only tell them how you feel 
They're too real to understand 

Too many trite expressions 
Ending in forced rejections long ago 
Too many innocent faces 
Too many far out places something's wrong 
Let me tell you that something's wrong 
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame 

On the street car 
To the city where she knows that she might lose it all 
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time 
And knowing well this could be her final fall 

Past the boutique 
Down the alley to the river, people pass her by 
Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks 
And knowing what she will do next just starts to cry 

Too many small suggestions 
Endin' in angry questions from her dad 
Too many T.V. dinners 
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost 
No one knows the trials she had 

In the shelter 
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming 
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? 
I just don't know, but I can't go back home." 

Lord, I just don't know, but I can't go back home.
