about

Set in a future time. An ode to women who want to walk on, alone, day or night.

lyrics

Entwined in attire of barely visible means
She leaves for the station, one glove in her hand
Throwing warmth to the wind and waving
Watch, as she twists it away just as planned

There it goes, the gauntlet - she walks on

And there in the jangled rain, she sees
Velvet clouds gather a mourning word
Caught in a nest of jewel red debris
A dried up rat and a barely feathered bird

She walks on

Rippling as the tunnel trembled
Twisting quietly, caught in a storm
Tasting the flight and sensing a fight
She walks on alone, the hour before dawn

She walks on

Her skirt sways dizzily in the breeze
At her age, she needs no disguise
She gives you her smile, her eyes and her shine
Maybe she laughs or maybe she cries

No mind - she walks on

A woman alone in her power, in her prime
She’s walking on proudly, reclaiming the night
It’s shine or shade she cries, and he fades before her eyes
She's been waiting for this for a long, long time

She walks on

Walking alone, having it all
Sensing her power and letting it roar
Her respect, the only thing worth fighting for
Just be proud not to want to hate her anymore

She walks on
