Girl

From in the shadow she calls

And in the shadow she finds a way 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 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

We'll 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 anda in their do's yeah

Everyone else's girl maybe one day maybe one day one day one day

She'll be her own

Smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots





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

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
