Lyrics

Alone on the sidewalk
Nice girl in a street so mean
Keep something small in your pocket
Like you borrowed a daydream

And you sing your song
When the businessmen come along
And they never know your name

A dress from the dollar store
Ribbons of violet and green
You wear a long sleeve jacket
In the hot summer breeze

Cuz it covers the scars
From the nights they went a little too far
And they never know your name
No they never know your name

A crumpled pile of clothes and hair
At the bottom of my stair
I could hear the rain as the gold from the windowpane
Shone a bright light on tears of despair

And I held out my hand
And I helped you to stand

I said child what's your name
I said child what's your name
