When She’s Alone By PKN: Marshall Stevens Copyright 01-29-2011 All Rights Reserved You wouldn’t know it, if you saw her You wouldn’t guess, to hear her talk An infectious smile, from a gentle touch What happens when she’s alone It started out with a diary A detailed account of her Dreams Colored with specificity The like of which, I’ve never seen Chorus All her lights are on at nighttime That’s what her parents always done That room is thick with silence Cause she never knows from where they’ll come She says, her daddy died recently I say, suicide from a tortured life She’s certain that he’s lingerin around, he’s mean like that Though she never understood why Someone suggested hanging crosses She already burns sage and rubs those crystal stones Horrified at “Astro Projection” Or being taken by, some lost soul Chorus All her lights are on at nighttime That’s what her parents always done That room is thick with silence Cause she never knows from where they’ll come Bridge She pleads with them at bedtime Soul’s passed on, seen and felt She wakes to find them in her bedroom It’s when they touch, that she cries for help Oh only if they touch does she ask for help She pensive, as she shares with me Parts of her never reveal before A lifetime of this mystery No one dare, no one dare ever know You wouldn’t know it, if you saw her You wouldn’t guess, to hear her talk An angelic smile masks a secret life But what happens Oh, what happens What happed Oh, what happens What happens When She’s Alone
