The Partner Nobody Chose

(album: The South Coast Of Texas - 1981)

She's a melody in search of the words I love you
She's a rose with rose with no room to grow
She's a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She's the partner that nobody chose

She's tried and she's tried
And she's tried to keep on loving
But every man she loved broke her heart

She's a melody in search of the words I love you
She's a rose with no room to grow
She's a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She's a refuge where nobody goes

She's fallen and stumbled
And stumbled and fallen
And no one picked her up when she fell

She's stood up with hope up
That someone would show up
Someday you never can tell

She's a melody in search of the words I love you
She's a rose with rose with no room to grow
She's a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She's the partner that nobody chose

She's a melody in search of the words I love you
She's a rose with no room to grow
She's a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She's a refuge where nobody goes

She's lonesome and nobody knows
