She was born out of loneliness
Reaped and sewn, a stranger at home
And down by a river's edge she knelt down
Tilted her head up and toward the sky
And the words still hung on the air
Like a star that shines at night
But has long since burned away

She had run out on her own again
Anonymity here, safety there

They said
We can offer you heaven
But only for a time
You can't stay here forever
Only up until your lease expires

She had run out on her own again
Anonymity here, safety there
And she cried,

They said
We can offer you heaven
But only for a time
You can't stay here forever
Only up until your lease expires

She was born out of loneliness
And came to bear a child of her own
She has shed all of that loneliness
That her son will never know
This song is from the album "1000 Voices And A One Track Mind".
