what in the world could be happening
to me
i'm waltzing through graveyards and surfing tv
for a face that resembles a picture of yours
three thousand miles and memory that's blurred once again
it's a lonely ol, lonely ol world
and you're only, you're only a girl
so bring on the music, the rhythm of cars
day breaks in soho and covers the stars
with a blanket for lovers, the stuff in my head
closed eyes discover i'm walking home holding your hand
it's a lonely ol, lonely ol world
and you're only, you're only a girl
i'm framing your picture and walking your dog
first of december, stumbling along
like a drunk in the vineyard, a whore on the street
tongue-tied, immortal and light on my feet once again
it's a lonely ol, lonely ol world
and you're only, you're only a girl
such a beautiful mystery
the gravity pulling a boy to the ends of his earth
it's a lonely ol, lonely ol world
and you're only, you're only a girl |
