©2004 Writer Ken Lillie

v1
She opens the door and runs down a lonley sidewalk
Each light passes by as if being timed in a race
Then sit on a curb alone in the rain
She wonders if she'll ever go back to that place
v2
It use to be so easy,laid back and understood
Then came the late nights, with no answer on his face
She'd say I cant take no more of this its driving me insane
Imprisoned by the one she loved forever planning an escape
Chorus
Alone is how she started
Alone is how this will end
Theres nothing worth going back for
The only thing would be her friend
But hes been gone for months now
Where he went she cant explain
It all comes down to this night
Sitting on a curb out in the rain
v3
The rain goes down the gutter
Like her dreams flowing far away
This rain cant last forever
The sun will bring a brand new day
v4
Soaking wet she thinks to herself
This is the best night i've had in years
I have a new direction
No more wondering no more tears.
Chorus
Alone is how she started
Alone is how this will end
Theres nothing worth going back for
The only thing would be her friend
But hes been gone for months now
Where he went she cant explain
It all comes down to this night
Sitting on a curb out in the rain

I really liked the imagery in this one, especially the rain. I'm sure many people can relate to the lyrics, but if you do decide to make them a bit vaguer, I don't think you should get rid of too much, because I think it's nice the way it is. It's obviously a sad song, but what type of music is it?

Very nice work.

I havent thought of any changes yet. I was hoping to get a few more replys. I pictured the song as a slower mid temp rock. Or i guess alternitive rock. Something like the counting crows would sing. Thanks for the reply. Take care Nite.......................

hi Ken. nice work. it has potential. maybe needs a lil restructuring. i can't exactly point out what needs to be worked upon right now. maybe shorten the verses a lil to give them more of a poetic than a prose feel? like, your last two verses are better. rock on m/ (and damn! i was writing a similar song and wanted to post it here but you beat me to it :evil: ) :P
