lyrics

She goes home alone at night
She has the feeling that something's just not right
She goes home alone

She makes a cup of tea then reads
She'll feed the cat then watch TV
Trying hard to be strong

But I wonder how much more she can take
How much love can we lose before we break
Tell me it's all in my head

She goes home alone at night
She tells the world she'll be all right
She counts the stars until it's light
She counts the starts at night

There's a clock up on her wall
You can hear it tick but there's no hands at all
I know it's odd but it's cool

And If someone told me this I'd think that it's strange
I might even laugh to escape the pain
Hiding the truth from myself

When I asked her what she did on nights
When storm clouds hid the stars from sight
She said she counts each drop of rain

She goes home alone at night
She tells us that she'll be all right
She counts the stars until it's light
She counts the starts at night

She said this can world be so hard to face
She said this world can be to much to take
She said this world can be a lonely place

But when she said she thought she was a lot like me
I dropped my cup I spilled her tea
So surprised I couldn't speak

Well she shrugged it off and then shied away
I couldn't see it then but I can see it today
Just one tear frozen in time

She goes home alone at night
She tells me that she'll be all right
She counts the stars until it's light

She goes home alone at night
She tells us that she'll be all right
She counts the stars until it's light
She counts the starts at night
She counts the starts at night
