Kindred

She's the first and the last thing on my mind
 Everyday she blows me away
 Her smile and the darkness in her eyes
 Keep the light at bay
 No man can lure her into games
 She'd never play
 She stops at nothing
 When she's determined
 To have it her way
 She takes the back roads
 To avoid all prying eyes
 She's find a new way home
 It's never the same one twice
 She thinks of when the grass was green
 And her eyes were blue
 She thinks of all the things
 That she wished
 She never knew
 She says:
 Sometimes I've got all these questions on my mind
 It seems like everyone can see but I am blind
 She's the one and only by my side
 She's the one that leads the way
 She's the one that takes me by the hand
 And looks past my disarray
 She never passes judgment
 Or descends on my mistakes
 She's always in support
 Of all the choices I make
 Sometimes I've got
 All these questions on my mind
 It seems like everyone can see
 But I am blind
 Sometimes I've got
 All these weird thoughts in my head
 I just can't sleep without
 A gun beside my bed
 So how's that joke again?
 The one that makes me smile?
 The one about humanity,
 Of treachery and guile
 The way people live their lives
 Is a path I truly dread
 I hate the living
 So let's hang out with the dead
 She's the one and only by my side
 She's the one that leads the way
 She's the one that takes me by the hand
 And keeps the light at bay
