A Girl Named Despair

Once had a girl named Shine
But I called her Despair
A playful girl was she
but she'd never play fair
But I'll say one thing for her
She was always there

I had a lover named Snow
Better known as Despair
An icy cold woman was she
Everyone said beware
But despite her frosty soul
She warmed to my touch I swear

A working girl named Chrystal
Everyone calls her Despair
On the streets she sells herself
To anyone, anywhere
A fast driving woman, but when you crash
you slow down then and there

A well dressed lady named China White
Let's call her Despair
An expensive mistress was she
But I didn't care
she didn't quite take everything
She left me my grey hair

All my life I have always loved
that girl named Despair
for everything I've given to her
She's taken, all is fair
Anywhere I go from here
I know she's waiting there
Anywhere I go from here
I know she's waiting there
Anywhere I go from here
I know she's waiting there
