Lyrics

Verse:
She sits in a chair
By the window all day.
No one comes to call,
No one comes to stay.
She watches the shadows
From the streetlights outside,
She imagines staring faces
And she runs and hides.

Refrain:
She had big wide eyes,
Always looking scared,
Dreams left discarded
Caught in life's glare,
She was beaten before she started,
She had big wide eyes.

Verse:
Each day was spent,
Trying to make ends meet,
Enough for the rent,
Barely enough to eat.
She can't hold a job
More than a day or two,
She has no ambition,
She has nothing to do.

Refrain:
She had big wide eyes,
Always looking scared,
Dreams left discarded
Caught in life's glare,
She was beaten before she started,
She had big wide eyes.

Verse:
Days run into years
She grows bitter and grey,
Living with her fears
And the knowledge each day,
Brings her closer to the time
She can finally rest,
An end to her sorrows,
Her soul finally blessed.

Refrain:
She had big wide eyes,
Always looking scared,
Dreams left discarded
Caught in life's glare,
She was beaten before she started,
She had big wide eyes.
