There's a quality to her smile
That these days is not often seen
One that triggers memories
Of places you'd hate to leave
There's a depth inside of her eyes
Of oceans deep and rivers wide
No submarine could endure
The bottom of her waters
There's a sad ache to her touch
A whisper on her wind
That brings you oh so close to her
Then let's you go again
There's a graveness in her voice
A silence filled with screams
That penetrates your very soul
If you dare to listen
Would you like to know a secret
If you do, this one's for free
If you care to dare to look real close
You'll see this girl is me

There's a quality to her smile
That these days is not often seen
One that triggers memories
Of places you'd hate to leave
There's a depth inside of her eyes
Of oceans deep and rivers wide
No submarine could endure
The bottom of her waters
There's a sad ache to her touch
A whisper on her wind
That brings you oh so close to her
Then let's you go again
There's a graveness in her voice
A silence filled with screams
That penetrates your very soul
If you dare to listen
Would you like to know a secret
If you do, this one's for free
If you care to dare to look real close
You'll see this girl is me
