You sat at home, the windows tinted black
It hit you hard and you cried so long
Life turned and wandered, never to come back again
Take what she gives you, don't cry when you kiss her
When you ran out, out of the Starlight Inn
You were too hurt to walk, too bad to begin
I looked at the sign but I couldn't feel sad for you
Take what she gives you, don't feel sorry for her
Poor little girl ran away for good
I tried to explain why she won't say a thing
Sad, sad thing, I'm so far away now
How can I say why she won't talk at all?
She holds a deck of cards, she wants to be alone
She says, "I've been very ill and I've tried waking up
Now I want to be alone"
When you fell out, out of Pete's Hotel
Well, you didn't look so good and you didn't feel so well
You said, "Hold me tight," but I couldn't get it right
Take what she gives you, don't cry when you kiss her
Poor little girl ran away for good
I tried to explain why she won't say a thing
Sad, sad thing, I'm so far away now
How can I say why she won't talk at all?
She holds a deck of cards, she wants to be alone
She still drinks in the dark, the radio is left on late
She saw a madman fight and break it all 'cause he hated himself
She felt better off 'cause she was only drunk
