Nowhere Girl |
We were wandering down by the river, that day |
Just me and 'bout five of my friends |
We were all getting ready to start the fifth grade |
As summer had come to an end |
I could see that something washed up on the banks |
What it was wasn’t clear to me yet |
The closer we came, it was clear to my eyes |
This was something we’d never forget |
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies |
Breathless and exposed |
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight |
Naked and alone |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
None of us had ever seen her before |
You’d remember such a strange face |
Her mouth shut like a confessional door |
Like she still had something to say |
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies |
Breathless and exposed |
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight |
Naked and alone |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
(Oh, Nowhere Girl, how did you end up here?) |
Her blue eyes froze like a fawn in headlights |
Caught in some dangerous game |
Then we gathered some leaves from the base of the trees |
And made a blanket to cover her frame |
Oh, Nowhere Girl, how did you end up here? |
The very next day we returned to the place |
But the Nowhere Girl was nowhere |
Our blanket of leaves had been lost to a breeze |
Like confetti thrown in the air |
We each had a theory and conspiracy |
Of how the Nowhere Girl disappeared |
To this day, I can still see her face |
Haunting me for thirty-five years |
Nowhere Girl, under the clear autumn skies |
Breathless and exposed |
Nowhere Girl, under the tender moonlight |
Naked and alone |
We were young, autumn skies |
We were young, under moonlight |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
