Halo of Gold

	Have you got a fine place to slip to
	When you're feeling down
	Have you had a week or two
	Just to get your troubles down
	Found a lot of life and laughter
	With a grandfather in the bowery
	She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
	She had a mind of forty
	I met her on a cold day
	In a city far away
	With the worlds about zero
	And I saw at once
	Into her soul
	She's gonna call me her hero
	Never like a walk in the rain or the lane
	I found a lot of death that day
	With the grandfather in the bowery‘
	Cause I like her like the world
	She had a halo of gold
	Told me stories of her life
	And the courage was sublime, pantomime
	I walk the line 'cause you're blind
	I walk the line
