LYRIC FOR SALE

By Christine Jordaan

He's a man with a gun
and a motive on the run
when he saw her he was lost
and he stopped to watch her dance
She's just a Doll
not quite whole
Light and Shadow with a Soul
and their spinning worlds collided
just by chance

He would kill to set them free
for a love that could not be
he told her she was pretty
and he would give her the whole city
he would fight and start a war
she was worth dying for
but her heart was made of steel
and this love it was not real

He could not bear to say goodbye
or see his love die in her eyes
he let go and watched her fly
and mourned her fading cries.
