That Girl in the Alcove

Verse 1:
That girl in the alcove, I’ve seen her today

Angry and broken and fading away

Her life has gone foul; all her lovers have gone

No one is singing her song

Verse 2:

The streets are so cold, and the time ran away

Before she could find what her heart had to say

Milestones she waited on, just never showed

And her fortunes have turned her so cold

Chorus:
Our lives they are cast upon

Waves of time crashing on

Like a comet in flight, we chase through the night

Streaming dust behind

We fight, and we choose, and we search for what’s right

In this broken room

I’m just like you, honey! I’m fighting the fight

I’m learning to fly

I’m seeking the light

Verse 3:

Girl in the alcove, the rain’s falling down

I see you, I hear you, I cry with you now

The world is on fire, and the twister is near

And I’m singing this song for you, dear

Chorus:
Our lives they are cast upon

Waves of time crashing on

Like a comet in flight, we chase through the night

Streaming dust behind

We fight, and we choose, and we search for what’s right

In this broken room

I’m just like you, honey! I’m fighting the fight

I’m learning to fly

I’m seeking the light
