Christopher Cross – Poor Shirley Lyrics 7 years ago
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely it will break her heart
Time passes as she waits for a friend
(sad,lonely and brokenhearted she needs a shoulder to lean on)

We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight (Friends will step up and help those who doubt that things will turn around for them)
And make them hold off 'til the spring (and help them hang in there until until new, promising beginnings arise)
Take hold of their hallowed souls
And save them from pain
All of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain (...protect and care for them until then)

Dearly held are the friends
Left in the years and lost in the war (good friends who have faded away, moved on, or just given up to the struggles of this world)
Dearly held are the loves
Save for the ones you lose on your own (love lost due to your own actions are painful to reflect upon and not often recalled dearly)

Stars will light up the lonely nights
Harbor lights
Making us believe in the love
So struck by the hope of the harmony
Leaving the sorrow Gently
(A look at how things will be when the loneliness has passed and new love is found)

Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely she will win a heart
Time passes as she waits for the wind (wind of change)
