Sunday

all grown up
still daddy's little girl
trouble findin love
in this one room apartment
so she ran
with the wind..icy Sunday
so she ran
away from it all

all grown up
still daddy's little secret
hard to trust open ears
and she's got the bruises
to prove it
so she ran
with the night..icy Sunday
so she ran
away from it all

all grown up
now lost in the streetlights
raise a buck
the only way she knows how
so she ran
but her footsteps still followed
and she ran
into it all

all grown up
a child of no service
dead to the eyes
of the taxpayer's bill
can you see
why she ran
severed and branded
would you run
away from it all?

all grown up
now she's gone
she never had a childhood
trouble findin love
in this one room apartment
she said
trouble findin love in 
this silencing world.

*performed August 21, 1995...in memory of Melissa Sunday*
