Louise Brooks

Born in kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to new york
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all toi wanted
Was someone to undress you

And all the stars toi kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You’re still the same

And it’s a long long way
From where toi want to be
And it’s a long long way
But you’re too blind to see

Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When toi fail the test of time

And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt toi so
Won’t let toi go
And toi still don’t know

And...
