lyrics

Hazel eyes and a crooked smile
A little girl just for a little while
Polished toes in french lilac
In ginger sand against the asphalt black

She’s only seventeen
Sweet like a tangerine
Emmeline, in a dress colored aubergine

Golden hair and milk-white skin
She always knows the styles before they’re in
Rosewood lips and callous hands
Silly child is always making Palm Spring plans

I moved away from the city lights
Two hundred miles to leave the seedy nights
Like my mother before me, I danced and danced and danced
And when my belly grew, I took my only chance to follow the Light
The blinding Light will guide you home
