Well I used to know someone fair |
|
She had orange ribbons in her hair |
|
She was such a trip, she was hardly there |
|
But I loved her, just the same |
|
There was rain in our window |
|
The FM set was ragged |
|
But she could talk, yeah |
|
We learned to speak |
|
And one year has gone by |
|
Such a long, long road to seek it |
|
All we did was break and freak it |
|
We had all that lovers ever had |
|
We just blew it and |
|
I'm not sad |
|
Well, I'm mad and |
|
I'm badAnd two years have gone by |
|
Now her world was bright orange |
|
And the fire glowed |
|
And her friend had a baby |
|
And she lived with us |
|
Yeah, we broke through the window |
|
Yeah, we knocked on the door |
|
Her phone would not answer |
|
Yeah, but she's still home |
|
Now her father has passed over |
|
And her sister is a star |
|
And her mother smokes diamonds |
|
And she sleeps out in the car |
|
Yeah, but she remembers |
|
ChicagoThe musicians and guitars |
|
And grass by the lake |
|
And people who laughed |
|
And made her poor heart ache |
|
Now we live down in the valley |
|
We work out on the farm |
|
We climb up to the mountains |
|
And everything's fine and |
|
I'm still here |
|
And you're still there and we're still around |
