About a friend I wanted to help. Melancholy. Didn't want to be dragged into it. Lots of harmonies, acoustic guitar, good bass.

Lyrics
Down the road by the river... she would...
spend her days hiding from the sun
no one knew how to save her, they just....
let her pray to her crushed, white, powder god
I wanna save her
to tell her there will come a day
that nobody can break her
Antonia.....
It's gonna be ok.
She'd tell her friends she was going
to Mexico
To get away from the bitter snow...
I think that all that she needed
was something warm...
someone to hold
Oh, Antonia,
you were there one day, gone the next
where did you go?
If you need me I'll hold ya,
We could always run away, always run away, always...
Antonia.
Come October she would stop sleeping
You'd think with 3 jobs she'd have elsewhere to go
But filthy hands and one night stands
never wash away never wash away, never....
Oh Antonia
You were there one day, gone the next,
where did you go?
If you need me I'll hold ya
Don't ever fade away, ever fade away, ever....
Antonia.
I wanted to save her...
to bring her into the light
so nobody could hate her
Antonia, my friend
its gonna be alright
Oh Antonia,
You were there one day, gone the next...
where did you go?
If I find out who sold ya,
there'll be hell to pay, there'll be hell to pay, there'll be....
Antonia.
Saw Antonia yesterday...
She told me she was going home.
