In the shelter In the morning as the sun was brightly beaming I heard her cryin' 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 goin' well if you could only tell them How you feel But they're too real to understand Too many trite expressions ended 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 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 taking 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 ending in angry questions from her dad Too many TV dinners and everyone loves a winner But she was lost No one knows the trials she had In the shelter In the morning as the sun was brightly beaming I heard her cryin' 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
