lyrics

SHE WROTE HER NAME TODAY

Anxious faces gather round
A broken body on the ground
Pale skin, looking old
A young face growing cold
Does anyone know her? What's her name?
Does anyone know from where she came?
Home to hostel, heroin poor
Did she find what she was looking for?

Chorus
She wrote her name today (she wrote)
She wrote her name today (she wrote)
She wrote her name today
She wrote her name today.

Curtains closed in a quiet street
Suburban garden kept so neat
Father sits with an empty gaze
And Mother cooks and counts the days
Slanging matches, hurt and pain
No-one prepared to take the blame
Bitter words then out the door
Did she know what she was looking for?

Chorus

Weeks of waiting by the hospital bed
A silent vigil, nothing said
Mother sits and takes her hand
And whispers prayers no-one understands
Then one day coming to her bed
A doctor smiles and lifts his head
And holds the pad for them to see
And they read the words they just can't believe

Chorus
