Lonely WomanA Poem by Lefty Enderson Lonely Woman Lonely woman, look at me Something in your eyes brings back a memory What a story you could tell I can hear your echo in the wishing well Once they screamed out your name You had fortune and fame Won't you whisper to me oh lonely woman, what do you see Lonely woman, turn the page I know your getting old, but beauty comes with age In the darkness I can hear you cry Making lonely wishes, but the well has run dry Once they screamed out your name You had fortune and fame Won't you whisper to me oh lonely woman, what do you see Looking out through shadow painted eyes at the the strangers passing by All the colors silently running too the days gone by Once they screamed out your name You had fortune and fame Won't you whisper to me, oh lonely woman What do you see when you look at me
