Lyrics for Song: Girl
Lyrics for Album: A Piano: The Collection [2006]
From in the shadow she calls
and in the shadows she finds a way, finds away
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 her own
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 her own
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 too safe
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 writes
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
Everybody elses girl, maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody elses girl, maybe oneday she'll be her own.
