She walks the streets alone

She's cold and scared - she's far from home

But she knows things can't go back

To what they used to be.



She's making plans for herself

When she's rich she won't need any help

She dreams as she walks down the street

Where he used to be.



Chorus: And all he ever said was

"Sugar don't be scared

I'll be back before you know I'm gone"

And all she ever did was

Sit and wait for him

But when she left she knew that he had gone.



She doesn't walk the streets no more

With a knife in her side and a gaping sore

And now she can't go back

To where she used to be



Chorus: And all he ever said was

"Sweetie don't be scared

I'll be back before you know I'm gone"

But now she's dead and cold

And she's still all alone.

He never returned and now she's gone
