Verse 1
C
She ran until her
face was numb with cold and
F
Wore a cot ton gown that
blazed the night untold.
C
She ran until her feet refused to hold
F
So heavy a heart for someone
merely ten years old.
C
And when she reached the river
her knees began to shiver,
F
Her head with pounding voices from home.
C
Be hind her was a vision,
a painful apparition
F
Of a darker world that no-one should
Verse 2
should know.

Somebody's bed will never

Verse 3
Dm
F
C
She dived beneath the water's icy skin,
F
Hoping the cold would kill the
smell of angry gin,
C
And her eyes grew wider
than they'd ever been
F
Just wishing the numbness to
cut deeper with its pins.
C
And as her body lay there she
decided to stay there
F
Till darkness came to pull her away.
C
And beautifully she sank as
up river was the bank
F
Where some bodiless troubles would
Am
stay.
