COWARD'S ROW

James Michael Taylor

She lies alone. She’s crying.
The truth hit her like a rock
A rock thrown thru her window
The window to her heart
His eyes told her a story
And she believed it, every word
She made plans to leave forever
Her time was over on this earth
But there’s no there there
The place she needs to go
The place he said he’d meet her
An address on Coward’s Row
There’s no there there

Like shattered glass, she’s broken
There’s no reason on this earth
If dreams can not be trusted
How can we count what life is worth
He lingers in the shadows
He watches closely as she turns
Could he have had such power
The dreams he conjures, now she spurns
There’s no there there
The place she dreamed to go
The place he said he’d meet her
An address on Coward’s Row
He’s a coward, he’s a liar, he’s a wonder of hearts
Every hair in place
He’s a charmer. He’s a fooler.
He’s a person of parts.
Such a pretty face.
But there’s no there there
The place she needs to go
The place he said he’d meet her
An address in Coward’s Row
There’s no there there…
