lyrics

Sara walks out on the ice late at night
She looks for the spots that’ll hold her
She’s wearing no coat and she carries no light
Her figure’s obscured by a flurry of white
I’m on the shoreline to call her back home
And she’d never survive on her own
No she’d never survive on her own

Sara makes bets with the guys at the bar
She drinks all the shots they can serve her
She gives out her number and fights with the jerks
She’s sweaty and sloppy, but somehow it works
I’m in the back watching over her phone
And she’d never survive on her own
No she’d never survive on her own

Sara takes off for New York on a train
She tells me she’s got an audition
She’s there for a week but has no place to stay
She outright refused when I offered to pay
I’m in the doorway watching rain turn to snow
And she’ll never survive on her own
No she’ll never survive on her own

Sara’s been gone for a couple of months
She got a shit job in Manhattan
She has no insurance and barely makes rent
She hasn’t replied to the letters I’ve sent
I’m in the bar getting drunk all alone
And she’ll never survive on her own
No she’ll never survive on her own
No she’ll never survive on her own
