Lyrics

ONE GIRL TOWN

Wandering around
this heartless town
restless and aching to write
a letter to you all about you
to say that I love you
but it’s too soon to tell

In the haze of disguise how can I exist
in styles, signals and signs?
Fire trucks racing to a scene far away
everyone’s racing
to a scene far away

One girl town

Faces march by with artillery eyes
waging a new war called doubt
It raises the soldiers from the trenches
of my echoing
battle-stained past

In this one girl town
One girl town
One girl town

And the rain keeps falling
and the sky is rarely blue

A traffic light squints tempting my stride
but I don’t dare a step forward
Cowards dismantle my courage
Seasoned destroyers
and counterfeit friends

Turning around a voice in the crowd
is mine for the very first time
pouring a sidewalk of freedom and fire
Everything ending
is where I begin

And the rain keeps falling
and the sky is rarely blue

One girl town
One girl town
One girl town
One girl town
One girl town
