The Girl in the Basement Letra

Scraping away at her patience

If she squinted just right
She could see some daylight
And what a delight it would be
To be outside
Just playing all day
And laughing away
Oh, what a delight it would be

A girl once lived in a basement
Self-imprisoned in darkness
Waiting for horse and carriage
To whisk her away from this sadness

If she wished really hard
And sang out real loud
Then some passerby's bound to pass
And hear the sound
But nobody cares
'Cause no one's out there
So she'll sing a song 'til she's dead
