Denton, TX. - Damien Jurado

She walked in with sadness in her eyes

I could tell she’d been sleeping with the stars

Well, hello, I’m dawn, yes, I’ve seen you around

I just live down from here

She has a dad she doesn’t know

Who sends her letters with no return address

I don’t know his name, he don’t know my face

I am better off this way

On the weekends, I drive her into town

In a car that I borrowed from my mom

She makes hotel beds where the sidewalks end

And I wait for her to come home, please come home

The one day, she finally stops coming around

My best friend said she probably moved out of town

Not a letter was sent, not a phone call was made

And I hope she comes back here someday
