Sidewalk princesses trade their worth
In gloss and glitter, hollow mirth
(All your life) waiting for a father's voice
But echoes don't make noise
They never read between your lines
The tremble in your cheap wine eyes
That hurricane behind your stare
Too loud for them to bear
Oh, night runner!
(Daddy's lessons came too late)
Streetlight confessions!
(Now you race against your fate)
Oh, night runner!
(All the words he couldn't say)
Burn in broadway's glow!
(And run the pain away)
I see you working graveyard charms
A different script for different arms
Your childhood frames watch from the wall
Silent judges of your fall
They never read between your lines
The tremble in your cheap wine eyes
That hurricane behind your stare
Too loud for them to bear
Oh, night runner!
(Daddy's lessons came too late)
Streetlight confessions!
(Now you race against your fate)
Oh, night runner!
(All the words he couldn't say)
Burn in broadway's glow!
(And run the pain away)
She loved the way the signs would bleed
(Pink and gold on broken dreams)
That love she chased was just the light
(Not the hand to hold you tight)
Oh, night runner!
(Daddy's girl grew up too fast)
Paved with good intentions!
(Footsteps echo from the past)
Oh, night runner!
(All the words dissolved in rain)
Somewhere in the shadows—
(Does he call out your name?)
