TATTERED WARES

Verse 1
Her clothes would barely pass for rags
Her face worn out and drawn
Poor in spirit and in love
Yet she is forced to face each dawn
Verse 2
I’m much the same in many ways
Though some may doubt that fact
You can be lost without a home
And still appear in tact
Chorus
Tattered wares, past repair
There is someone to blame
But that won’t do a bit of good
So we won’t speak their name
Verse 3
It’s not her fault she lives like this
Somewhere something went wrong
No one she knew quite cared enough
To help and guide her along
Verse 4
We’re kindred spirits that’s for sure
Nowhere to lay our cares
Meandering sad and alone
Surviving on our prayers
Repeat Chorus
Verse 5
For her the future might as well
Not exist at all
Everyday is bleak and cold
Her chance for happiness is small
Verse 6
I hate it that we feel this way
It clearly isn’t right
A drastic action we could take
But who’s around to spite
Repeat Chorus
