cries, "Daddy why don't you love Mommy anymore?"
he stares at his feet, a tear on his cheek
slowly disappears from her door
a teenage girl saw her life in a flash
of the ocean eyes of a boy who
brought her to life, they dreamed together
they dreamed
got caught in the bedroom with maps and guides
playing punk rock music, everything to hide
but their love was true
it was true
back of a train, ocean eyes strains
searching the midnight sky, what to wish for?
teenage girl pretends to sleep in his lap
stealing peeks at the boy who brought her back
ocean eyes smiles down on her, no need to wish anymore
adolescent girl sobs on her bedroom floor
cries, "Baby just tell me you don't love me anymore"
five years gone, she doesn't understand
ocean eyes stares at his feet, tear on his cheek
slowly disappears from her door
a girl hears the rumble of her plane
stares blankly at the earth below, wondering who's to blame
looking for home in dozens of countries, she runs
she runs, all grown up now
an older woman stirs and wakes
voices tell her "arrivals at gate 8"
tiny lines on her face, blank stare remains
trail of bitter tears in the men she left home, she runs
she runs
