She tries to clean the dust
That has accumulated for years
In spite of broken dreams
Although her eyes were full of tears

She tries to concentrate
And not get carried away by despair
There's not a single day
That she does not regret her past

And yet she's waiting every nigth

Uh!

She looks very nice
But she seems so confused
She's ready to go home
Wearing her good shoes
Waiting for some news
She's wondering through the streets
Girl has lost her time
Girl has lost her mind
She's looking for someone
She's tired of defeats
She can see her plans
Going down the drain
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to say
She puts her dreams away

It took a little while
Until she quite her oldest hopes
She used to be so sweet
She wants to run, she wants to elope


She's looking all around
Well now, she's just all by herself
(she) no longer has the strength
She can no longer cry for help

She's waiting for redemption
Well she still has grace and patience
To be what she used to be
But now it's too late
