She's somewhere in the shadows
beyond the neon light
trying to find her way back home
through the darkness of the night
She's been on the run too long
she's lost her way before
it's hard to keep on holding on
when you're always needing more
Everybody in her life
says it's a crying shame
they only saw her in disguise
no one saw her pain
She's been on the run too long
she's lost her way before
it's hard to keep on holding on
on the streets of Baltimore
So it goes
I know
it's hard to understand
sometimes
I know
love slips right through our hands
it hurts
I know
to watch when you love someone
to just let go
is easier said than done
Someone said she slipped away
never to be found
one more cold and rainy day
on the lonely side of town
She's been on the run too long
she's lost her way before
it's hard to keep on holding on
on the streets of Baltimore
So it goes
I know
it's hard to understand
sometimes
I know
love slips right through our hands
it hurts
I know
to watch when you love someone
to just let go
is easier said than done
