Lyrics
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.
From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadows she finds a way
And in the shadow she crawls
Clutching her faded photograph, my image under her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
Yes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be herown
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
And in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away
Well I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be herown
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores toosafe
In their coats and in their do's yeah
Everyone else's girl maybe one day
Maybe one day one day she'll be her own
And in the mist there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning wondering why
Sit in the chair and be good now
And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin'
Everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
