Walking in the darkness
Matching every step I take
Glancing over shoulder
A feeling that I can't shake
Tapping on the pavement
Slow and steady heel
Is that just a shadow?
Or a shadow of what's real?
Lamp posts at twenty paces
Counting every single step
Clutching fists, unflinching
Shallow trembling breath
There was just a whisper
A pause before the hush
A waiting for the movement
A yearning just to rush
Frozen now in shambles
Wishing for the sun
Is standing still the answer?
Or should she start to run?
A step or two move forward
You have to make it home
What was a woman thinking
Taking this road alone?
