She's a Child (Of Coal-black Rainbows)
She's the girl with a crack in her soul.
She`s a child of coal black rainbows
Staring out the fogged up window
She`s the girl with a crack in her soul
In her life no dreams, no heaven
In her time not warmth, not even
Can`t feel enough to sense the cold
Seems like the night`s melting away
Seems like her heart`s only clay
His dirty cash upon the bed
Wordlessly turned away her head
When he`s finished he must have to go
In her life it seems it`s over
In her time there is no cover
Even the best times pass too slow
Seems like life`s melting away
Seems like her heart`s only clay
Once there was a girl
Living just for fun
The cotton candy world
Became a lonely one
Seems like she`s melting away
Seems her heart`s only clay
Her Tommy comes into the room
And she bows to him in the gloom
He plays to the crack in her soul
He`s replaced her dreams, her heaven
Picks up the cash she`s been given
Tells her to work harder for more gold
Seems like at last he`s melting away
Seems like her heart`s only clay
Once there was a girl
Living just for fun
The cotton candy world
Became a lonely one
Seems like she`s melting away
Seems her heart`s only clay
Seems like the night`s melting away
Seems like her heart`s only clay

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
