Ticket Back

I search all the passing faces
for what -- I do not know
I'm losing all the social graces
that I learned as a girl back home,
I learned as a girl back home

I came here as a stranger
but do not take me for a fool
I did not know the dangers
I lived by other rules
I lived by other rules

And I still have a ticket back (it's in my pocket)
folded with a city my
Oh I still have a ticket back
It won't take me home

I can't see the constellations
beyond the city lights
There's no hills on the horizon
when I look out on the night
and I look out every night

Sometimes, I'll catch a train downtown
It takes me to the sea
and homes across the water
but nothing there for me
There's nothing there for me

And I still have a ticket back (it's in my pocket)
folded with a city my
Oh I still have a ticket back
It won't take me home
