I asked you if you loved me
and you said it was so...

Mommy can I tell you a secret?
Mommy, promise not to tell...

I'm closeted in
walls closing around me...

I’m not here to make you happy
i’m not here to make you cry...

Did you give a smile in passing today, that could...
Did you stop to talk with a stranger, or just...

My hands are not as smooth
as those white manicured hands in magazines...

Look at me
and I'll look back...

I hear your words
you're reaching out...

You ask me what’s wrong
then you tell me not to worry...

He's a little crookeder now
than he was in the old days...

Some people need my frowns
to make them smile...

The silence fills the shadows
echoes fill my mind...
