Call her Ruth
'Cause she knows the price
Call her Sandy
'Cause heart is like ice
You can call her
Whatever you wish
Nothing can change
The person she is

Try not to slam the door
Or you'll wake her as you leave
You can tell by
The pictures on her wall
That she never really

It's just looking into waste
I can't see any courage
Or hope in your face
You say there's no point
Of searching anymore
'Cause whatever I find
I'll have found before

I must be looking
For something fantastic!
And all this reality
It's such a test
You take what you're given
And I'll take my time
You in your small corner
And I in mine
