Oh, he says I'd like to turn myself, |
|
as he stares into the windowpane, |
|
And if only I could be myself, |
|
but I'm sure you'd do the same to me. |
|
I was only a guest that she wanted, |
|
it was more than that that he flaunted. |
|
It's away, to you, |
|
Away, to you. |
|
So I pleaded, she needed to be herself, |
|
and he dipped into his wishing well. |
|
At any moment, any moment the sounds of the midnight train, |
|
will be the mating call of his whippoorwill. |
|
Should he wait 'cause his father drinks too much |
|
had his paint thinner laced with his sleeping pills. |
|
He'll find a way, to you, |
|
Away, to you. |
|
So he dreamed away. |
|
Away. |
|
From these small streets, |
|
and to where they lead, |
|
and the holes that bleed, |
|
from where he beats me, |
|
cause of these stained sheets, |
|
lets dream away. |
|
And from my small tower, |
|
every hour, seemed to take the day, |
|
and so she dreamed away. |
|
Oh, baby don't you that you're good enough? |
|
Baby, don't you think that you're bright enough? |
|
Baby, don't you think that you're good enough? |
|
Baby, don't you think that you're good enough? |
|
Don't you think that you think that you're good enough, for you? |
