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 from my heart Yes, with a message from 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 Rushin' rivers, thread so thin, limitation Dreams with the flying pigs, turbin blue and the drugstores too Safe in their coats and in their do's Yeah, smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots 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 Everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own
