I see her standing on the corner in the rain
says she's waiting for a friend
but I can tell she's chasing her demons again
her pretty smile can't hide her pain
there's no way to pretend
she's lost in the dark where the pain never ends
I can see the storm in her eyes
raging from deep down inside
somewhere in her heart there's a child holding on to the light
I can see the storm in her eyes
in desperate anguish it thrives
somewhere in her heart
there's a little girl lost to the night
Although it seems like yesterday
when we were dancing in the sun
it's been nearly ten years since our dance was done
now on this lonely corner in the rain
I can see she's on the run
trying to escape who she's become
I can see the storm in her eyes
raging from deep down inside
somewhere in her heart there's a child holding on to the light
I can see the storm in her eyes
in desperate anguish it thrives
somewhere in her heart
there's a little girl lost to the night
I see her turn and look away
still waiting on that friend
I can tell she's already lost to the wind
with an awkward kiss
and a quick embrace
there's no way to pretend
our moment in time has come to an end
I can see the storm in her eyes
raging from deep down inside
somewhere in her heart there's a child holding on to the light
I can see the storm in her eyes
in desperate anguish it thrives
somewhere in her heart
there's a little girl lost to the night
