Better Off On Her Own

My girl came home to me / just the other day, acting OK / I was reading alone / in my favourite room, the TV was on / May I be excused / for not telling the truth / 'Cos she's gone, she said / she's better off on her own / She turned her head / much better off on her own / My girl knocked on the door / to the place I usually refer to as home / I died, shoelace untied / she looked in my eyes, small and surprised / And God closed every gaze / the moon fell into the lake / Boy, she's gone, a drift / She's better off on her own / She closed, then she left / much better off on her own / Sitting naked by the windowsill / watching cars upon the hill / Am I sleeping? / I was dreaming / For just a moment time stood still / Better off on her own / Better off on her own / Now she's gone, she said / she's better of on her own / She turned her head / much better off on her own / She's gone, she sighed / she's better of on her own / The tears I cried / much better off on her own / My girl came home to me just the other day.
