|
I was just a girl who fell in love with Judy |
|
everything was red it was never just her shoes |
|
I was a girl overcome with envy |
|
everything was gold if it belonged to you |
|
oh to be open and willing to begin anew |
|
oh to be open and willing to be a sister to you |
|
oh to be open and willing to let the ghost be gone |
|
oh to be open and willing to be the wiser one |
|
you were just a girl when momma was afraid |
|
she would leave us both well before her time |
|
everything would change when you found your soul-mate |
|
then you went away and I felt left behind |
|
CHORUS |
|
I spent a lifetime looking over my shoulder |
|
for the one who was older to carry me down |
|
to the river where we used to skip stones |
|
before we skipped chapters to unwritten tomes...to begin a new...and be a sister to you...let the ghost be gone |
|
oh to be open and willing to be the wiser one |
