Strawberry Valentine - Andrew Morris

You wear your dress like a habit

Paint on a varicose smile

Cover your turf like an addict

Protect your purse like a child

Dragging your heels through the gutter

Hustling on the roadside

Taking your chance when you can grab it

It’s your only chance for a while

Maybe this time

You will find your way out now

Maybe this time

You will find some peace somehow

Maybe this time

You will find redemption now

You’ll be free

People stare through their curtains

Safely locked inside

Pity the folks who can’t have it

Envy the ones you despise

Flying as high as an eagle

Landing safe in the fields

Burrow as deep as a rabbit

Lock down and put up the shields
