Lyrics
A Young Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She left her neighbourhood
In which everyone was filthy rich
She left her parent's home
And strained with a vagabond
Who made piles of love she never heard
And she believed his every word
She left no forwarding address
Just took her youth and happiness
As with the boy she vanished in
The secret sweetness of their sin
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road
He told her: "love demanded space"
So they roamed from place to place
Although she realized she'd sined
She grew caution to the wind
As she followed him around
While he slowly dragged her down
So overpowering was her love
The it had made a captive of
The young girl's heart and soul and mind
In other words: love drove her blind
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Laying there by the road
Too much emotion for a girl
She let her heart become her world
What world that God has never rocked(??)
For a sunder we are taught
Had she been wise and she'd have known
She could feed him love alone
She should of known the day would come
When he would quit her just for crums
He needed fresh young meat to love
And left her heart and mind to starve
Oh, young girl
Oh, young girl of sixteen
Child of spring-time
Still green
Lying there by the road
