I could not help the girl with beautiful brown hair
Try as I might my mind was elsewhere
She lay in my arms crying while I was paralyzed with fear
Fear of making only the darkness darker.
At last that was my blunder.
As she lay in my arms crying
I felt I was failing
Failing to chase away the darkness
As she lay in my arms crying
I stood there and did nothing
