Anybody?

She is running

A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

She is trying

But the canyon's ever widening

In the depths of her cold heart

So she sets out on another misadventure just to find

She's another two years older

And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear hear? Can anybody see?

Or does anybody even know she's going down today

Under the shadow of our steeple

With all the lost and lonely people

Searching for the hope that tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

Dedicated to an unnamed lady in a New Orleans elevator, 1982
