In the night she walks a fraying tightrope All the time she's thinking that there's no hope She dips into the pockets of last nights dream The world is not her oyster its just as it seems Her thoughts are not of her but you She steps into the satin room again And she knows its not unusual And she knows that words are just pretend And she knows in time, forgotten minds might mend She's tired and in the mirror she can see no face She listens to a message of a time and place The noises from the bedroom make her more alert But somewhere in the mirror she can see the hurt She drifts into the misty blue Her thoughts are not of her but you She steps into the satin room again And she knows its not unusual And she knows that words are just pretend And she knows in time, forgotten minds might mend She drifts into the misty blue Her thoughts are not of her but you She steps into the satin room again And she knows its not unusual And she knows that words are just pretend And she knows in time, forgotten minds might mend And she likes to think she's usual And likes to think this its not the end And she hopes in time her broken heart might mend
