and though her eyes are fixed upon

the large screen t.v.

her mind is a million miles away

and though her eyes are fixed upon

some senseless b-movie

her thoughts go to that day

and the choices that she made

and though her eyes are fixed upon

a picture on the wall

her mind tries to escape

and though her eyes are fixed upon

two people, a waterfall

her thoughts begin to shape

seeing how life has played

and though her eyes are fixed upon

the man at her side

her mind has to wonder

and though her eyes are fixed upon

this stranger, his lies

her thoughts are on the blunder

and the direction she has strayed

and though her eyes are fixed upon

the dirty carpet floor

her mind strays outside

and though her eyes are fixed upon

the wooden front door

her thoughts become chide

and she becomes afraid

and though her eyes are fixed upon

a new start at life

her mind still holds her back

and though her eyes are fixed upon

not being his wife

her thoughts keep her on track

and the vows mislaid

and though her eyes are fixed upon

those happier than she

her mind makes her accept

and though her eyes are fixed upon

the dreams that could be

her thoughts they get swept

she turns and she stays
