A Better Place
She is old, yes, very old
She contemplates her nap
She knows damn well that if she sleeps
It just might be her last
And so she lay with her eyes affixed
And slowly drifts away
Her life's been rough and sure enough
She is never to awake
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
For one last time she dreams the dream
Of being very young
To when her days were full of beauty
And nights were full of love
Her beauty did fade, she got pushed away
And shoved into a corner
Like the ugly duck that no one wants
And no one wants to know you
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
She contemplates her nap
She knows damn well that if she sleeps
It just might be her last
And so she lay with her eyes affixed
And slowly drifts away
Her life's been rough and sure enough
She is never to awake
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
For one last time she dreams the dream
Of being very young
To when her days were full of beauty
And nights were full of love
Her beauty did fade, she got pushed away
And shoved into a corner
Like the ugly duck that no one wants
And no one wants to know you
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
Gone, she has gone away
Gone to a better place
