A Woman in Deserted Streets

Then a drop of water fell to the earth

Orphaned sky, clouds weeping

As the leaves sway on the branches

A woman was coming alive in the deserted streets

The heel of his shoe echoed

But his own voice had never been so loud

He rebelled against the stone walls with his loneliness

A woman defied the deserted streets

Maybe things didn't work out the way he wanted them to.

Like yesterday, like today, he would be gone.

As beads of tears flowed from your eyes

Thousands of women would fill these lonely streets.

And as the time of separation slowly approaches

Farewell cries were heard from far away

As a drop of clear water rises to the heavens

A woman was leaving these deserted streets.
