A Song for a Girl (rest in peace)

It was 2 weeks ago or less
That I heard from her last
Got word that Amy
Took her own life
I can't say I'm not surprised
Never saw it in her eyes
A distaste for the World
So bad that she'd wanna die

All throughout this country
There are people in poverty
And corn fields that stretch
To the horizon
Still, beautiful girls
In their diamonds and pearls,
Are at the end
Of their own tight rope

There's a giant cross
On the side of the highway
An exit or two away
from where we stayed
And give it a week,
I'll be back on the beach
Reminded of just how
Temporary-
This fragile, dying day.

Glad I got to meet you darlin,
I know you were there
Glad I got to look into your eyes
I knew you were alive.

Close your eyes darlin,
There's peace in rest.
There's peace in rest.
