Yesterday's Ashes

See the little girl all alone
It’s dark, it’s cold
She wants to go home.
Her clothes are tattered
Her shoes are worn
She’s Yesterday’s Ashes
She can’t go on.

Her face...Is hidden in a tale of woe
Her eyes...Have a dark, haunting glow
Her innocence was robbed
Taken in one night
She tried to speak out
But was torn with fright......

She’s the Dark Child
Locked into the night.
She looks at you....
Your eyes meet
A single tear...
Runs down her cheek

It’s just too late
Her hope is gone
She’s Yesterday’s Ashes
She can’t go on.......
