Black Haired Girl |
There’s a black-haired girl |
Sittin' behind the bullet-proof glass |
And she takes my money |
Before I go and pump some gas |
As the cold rain falls on the parking lot |
The strip malls and housing tracts |
I smile at her |
But she don’t smile back |
Well the black-haired girl |
Is starin' at the gossip magazine |
And all the glossy pictures |
Of today’s kings and queens |
But it’s nearly three a. |
m |
And the whole world is dead, except for her and me |
And the sound of the rain |
And the smell of gasoline |
Well that black-haired girl |
Looks like a woman I used to know |
Back in some other world, several lifetimes ago |
Yeah, we’d lay in her bed |
Drinkin' wine and makin' love |
And lettin' time move slow |
Well we lost touch somehow |
But that’s just the way things go |
Well that black-haired girl |
Catches me lookin' her way |
And I feel a little uneasy |
Maybe there’s something I should say |
Should I ask her name |
Or just warn her about all the tricks time can play |
But I don’t say nothin' |
‘Cause she’s gonna find out anyway |
There’s a black-haired girl |
Sittin' beneath a flourescent light |
Whatever fate has in store |
Well I hope that she’ll be alright |
I hope she finds real love |
And all her dreams come true |
Or at least she makes it through tonight |
Then I drive away as she fades out of sight |
