Dorothea walks with her head held high

In a patchwork coat she stitched in July

The sun dips low but she won't cry

She hums to herself like the wind's lullaby

Dorothea where do you roam

With a heart like a kite and no tether home

Dorothea you're never alone

But your shadow's the only one that's known

Her boots kick gravel a trail of sparks

Through sleepy towns and empty parks

She says the road is a canvas

Dark

Every step paints light like a fleeting mark

Did you leave to find or to forget

Are your dreams a debt or a safety net

Dorothea does the night confess

Or leave you tangled in its emptiness

Dorothea where do you roam

With a heart like a kite and no tether home

Dorothea you're never alone

But your shadow's the only one that's known

The stars don't ask why you run so far

They just watch like lanterns wherever you are

Dorothea whispers to the morning star

"I'll stop someday but not today by far"
