She has a closet full of dresses that are striped
She bought them when she started her new life
When all the rules are broken, down is up and up is down
Sometimes you gotta move to a new town

Somewhere nine hundred fifty miles away
In a storage shed the pieces of her past remain
She thinks of them from time to time and wonders if they still define
The person who she is or was or will be?

She wishes that it wouldn’t take so long
to puzzle all the pieces of her new life song
She’s searching for bright harmonies
in a world that’s brought her to her knees
But since she’s down there, she’ll pray for patience

It’s not that anything is truly bad
It’s just so very different from the life she had
Somethings are much better, but there’s still some things she misses
Like knowing someone had her back and all those goodnight kisses

She wishes that it wouldn’t take so long
to puzzle all the pieces of her new life song
She’s searching for bright harmonies
in a world that’s brought her to her knees
But since she’s down there, she’ll pray for patience

She wishes that it wouldn’t take so long
to puzzle all the pieces of her new life song
She’s searching for bright harmonies
in a world that’s brought her to her knees
But since she’s down there, she’ll pray for patience

since she’s down there, she’ll pray for patience
since she’s down there, she’ll pray for patience
