With a suitcase full of memories in her arms
She hangs her broken heart on the wall
She’s leaving once again for the last time
From the door she hears the night time call
Did she clean up all the tears scattered round
All the empty years she could find
Are all the kitchen cupboards bare
Did she leave just one kiss behind
Lay back, and smile a lie
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Hush, hush just rest awhile
The dreams you hide will keep
He’ll check his little black book for a clue
All his broken promises unmasked
He’ll wonder which one stripped away
The veneer from his sordid past
The welcoming darkness takes her in
The night has always been her friend
It lays its’ cold hands on her heart
And becomes her lover once again
