From the recording Onion Dream
Lyrics
There is a silence runs so deep
To a place she'll always keep for herself.
No one else can know
How deep it goes.
There is a loneliness so sharp
Cutting deep into this heart
No one else could understand
No one ever took the time to take her hand.
She's all alone
In this world.
And now a woman must grow
From this girl.
And don't you think that if she could
She would tell you all her stories
Of every man that's battered her
And every child she worries about?
But she doesn't have the words
So she never will be heard.
She keeps her peace, she keeps her head.
No one can hurt her if she's dead.
Just an empty shell
And she knows its just as well she hide inside.
She's all alone in this world.
And now a woman must grow
From this girl.
There is a silence runs so deep.
