Story Behind The Song

Originally recorded as a demo in 1986 and released to a resounding lack of acclaim, this song has found new life as an MP3.

Song Description

An exploration of how two lonely souls can pass each other like ships in the night, not connecting

Lyrics

Maybe she's just running away
Maybe she just couldn't stay in one place for too long
Maybe there was something inside
Something that she could have relied on but something went wrong
She could no longer be strong

(chorus)

(She's just a) lonely woman walking on the beach
Just a lonely woman walking, to each guy who's talking
She will just turn away, she's got nothing to say, not to you

I can feel her tremble inside
From here I can tell that she cried probably half of the night
Somehow I am feeling her pain
Somehow I just want to explain
That we're not on our own, that she isn't alone, to cast her stone

(chorus)

(bridge)

I don't know why this woman would affect me
Because I know what it's like to have someone reject me
Don't want to take her home, just want to talk awhile
Would make me feel so good if she would only smile

(chorus)

Now she's just a few feet away
Got to think of something now that we're face to face
But nothing I can think of seems right
She passes, she's soon out of sight and I'm left standing there
While she's unaware that someone cares about the

(chorus)

Lonely woman...etc.

She ain't got nothing, she ain't got nothing to say to you
