The Sly Digs - Only For A Time lyrics

She was born out of loneliness Reaped and sewn, a stranger at home And down by a river's edge she knelt down Tilted her head up and toward the sky And the words still hung on the air Like a star that shines at night But has long since burned away She had run out on her own again Anonymity here, safety there They said We can offer you heaven But only for a time You can't stay here forever Only up until your lease expires She had run out on her own again Anonymity here, safety there And she cried, They said We can offer you heaven But only for a time You can't stay here forever Only up until your lease expires She was born out of loneliness And came to bear a child of her own She has shed all of that loneliness That her son will never know
