Mira's Song

Warming her hands with a cup of
 coffee, she stares at the time ticking by
 The sound of the ocean her only
 friend, as she holds back a bitter sigh
 Waiting for his footsteps, on the sidewalk, how did she ever get here?
 Always wondering why,
 the years slipped by, forever waiting to hear him talk
 Oh and she's lonely, searchin' her heart
 Wondering if only, dreaming for a brand new start
 Oh and she's hurting, yearning for love
 Afraid and uncertain, is the answer up above?
 Listening to her son crying down the
 hallway, struggling with the right words to say
 Tryin' to find a way, to get it right, cries herself to sleep at night
 Trapped in a loveless marriage
 Finding no way out
 Like a maze going round and round
 Full of fear and doubt
 Warming her hands with a cup of
 coffee, she stares at the time ticking by
 The sound of the ocean her only
 friend, as she holds back a bitter sigh
 Warming her hands with a cup of coffee, she holds back a bitter sigh
