By Face Not Name

歌詞

A lone car stopped as I walked home that night I ignored all the warnings a young lady hears By the time that I knew what he had on his mind It was too far for screaming and too cold for tears Too far for screaming and too cold for tears I waited three months for my story to tell When the stares fell on me as I started to show My mother said she wasn't surprised that I fell My friends said "She never hitched rides home before" "We never seen her hitching a ride home before." I see all the girls down at the hair salon They think I don't know which man got me this way But the boys at the bar all know how they got on Still I only know him by face but not name Never since seen his face, and I don't know his name Solutions are posed with a whispering fear How "those doctors have no morals, and besides; It'd cost you too much if you like living here; With doors open, courts closed and all smiles Supplied." Doors open, courts closed and all smiles supplied When the time comes for me to hold that child to my breast Will I feel only love or will my heart hold doubt? Will I too see his face like I do when in rest? All whiskey-fire breath with his hand on my mouth His whiskey-fire breath with one hand on my mouth A lone car stopped as I walked home that night I ignored all the warnings a young lady hears
