her eager eye finds the the agony in peace
while her desperate heart finds the love in war
she's driven home by a lonely stranger
who offers her a few as they tread to her room
his pitiful alibi means nothing
when her white dress slips to the floor
one season later she is rocking the cradle
and her cry to the wind because the cry of a child
she's driven to the beach by a lonely stranger
who offers to put Johnny in his guitar case
and shove him into the ocean
his pitiful alibi means nothing
when their newborn baby floats pass the shore
