never much of a hopeful man
nothing good to say
but i couldn't help it
when i saw her
i had to know her


she don't know where to go
she don't know how to stay
and she don't know how good i can be
or how much i can pray


and soon i know her a little more
she's everything i dreamed
but still i wonder
what it would be like
if she let me


she don't know where to go
she don't know how to stay
and she don't know how good i can be
or how much i can pray


there must be something
that's following her
that keeps her from the stay
there must be something
that makes me want to pray


she says she's alright
but she's not sure
and i'm not sure what that means
she says she's alright
but she needs some help
i don't know how
