One Old Woman

Lyrics

Zann Ann Elizabeth Rochelle Let my doll go down deep in that old wishing well And I know that they'll never find it She'll make a big scene, hoping no one will notice And I feel that when night falls, I need it And here I waste and I hustle myself Why a little crime can make for a life this bad, it escapes me But I know I'm not allowed to hold on too tightly to what has gone And down at my new home All of my family smile in my face But I've lost all the seconds that lead up to this And I know that something will happen If I don't take charge, it might all disappear And I feel that when night falls, I need it And here I wake and I trouble myself Buy a little time from memories left alive, if they'll let me But I know I'm not allowed to hold on too tightly to what has gone Oh, to what has gone And I stand down in a brick hole Thinking and thinking and thinking of them But scary Zann calls down from the opening And tells me that I won't be thinking again And I feel that when night falls, I breathe it in Here I wait and I ready myself Why a little time can erase a life's worth that just escapes me And I know I'm not allowed to hold on too tightly to what has gone Oh, to what has gone
