lyrics

She holds her long, thick braid just like a teddy bear
A soft familiar friend to touch when no one's there
And no one has been there for such a long, long time
She dines alone today, a solitary cyme

She dines alone in silence like a photograph
A headstone in the grass without an epitaph
She dines alone, her eyes filled with a dark despair
Her meal is yet another game of solitaire

She dines alone, as always, all alone
The cold wind whistles through the trees of stone
She dines alone, a heart like shattered glass
She quietly departs, alone, alas

I've always wanted to approach and ask her why
Timidity is such a lousy alibi
Yet still I haven't said a word to comfort her
And so she dines alone, so thoroughly demur

Our world, at once loquacious and yet unconcerned
So many people derelict. A forest burned
So many broken lives cry tears on hearts of stone
When will we start to love the ones who stand, alone
