Hi, all:

Here's a second collaboration with Carroll Kiphen, who wrote the lyrics that jump-started this little rocker. I hope it's worth the listen. Feedback is, as always, both appreciated and usually needed. smile Thanks in advance to all of you. Stay healthy and safe.

Here's the song:

GIRL WITH DARK SUNGLASSES

Here are the lyrics:

When she removes her shades I can see
the fear in her blue eyes.
She’s so afraid for the world to see
she’s a frightened girl inside.

She looks cool and calm and in control—
little does anyone know that
behind those shades, she’s so afraid
her desperation shows.

The girl with dark sun glasses
looks like a movie star.
The girl with the dark sunglasses—
no one knows who you are.

At night behind closed doors she wages
a war she cannot win.
She struggles in vain, and it’s such a shame—
She won’t let love back in.

She looks cool and calm and in control—
little does anyone know that
behind those shades, she’s so afraid
Her desperation shows.

The girl with dark sun glasses
looks like a movie star.
The girl with the dark sunglasses—
no one knows who you are.

And her beauty’s betrayed her;
her fame has caged her;
she’s walked her time upon the stage.
Yes, her beauty’s betrayed her;
fame has aged her—
She hides behind dark shades.

She looks cool and calm and in control—
little does anyone know that
behind those shades, she’s so afraid
Her desperation shows.

The girl with dark sun glasses
looks like a movie star.
The girl with the dark sunglasses—
no one knows who you are.
