Well she was an american girl
Raised on promises
She couldnt help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God its so painful
Something thats so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an american girl

shes an american girl, will do anything for it, but there is too much love and hope in her. she gives out more then she gets. its braking her heart, but she cant stop the giving.
If one person gave to her, half of that she gave to them, she would be happy and could go on. Will that happen, she may never know.
The grey and dark have come.
Her cold touch fills the air.
Into the newness January stands alone.
Seeking to touch those with out care.
The softness of her voice cools all that can hear.
Her chill bears down deep on toughts around.
Gloom, is seen for miles.
For her heart can not be bound.
Everything has gone past the point of old.
In her eyes, you can see hope of a new.
Hope and trust try to push on.
Yet even the frost kills her dew.
Lot of things still hang in the balance.
Hope and luck are in there fight.
Fear, sorrow and cold strike hoping to prevail.
Both sides wage at each other with all there might.
Eternal is the feeling.
Long are the nights.
Warmth seams to be to far away.
One hopes they can survive the fright.
