Most Lonely Face - The Holloways[00:00:00]
This story's a sad one the sort that you hear all the time[00:00:06]
But this time I'll bore you with details and open your mind[00:00:14]
It's the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town[00:00:22]
The first time I saw her the skin was so thin on her bones[00:00:33]
Her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home[00:00:41]
So I thought can I save her can I get her out of harms way[00:00:48]
And she looked at me with those eyes so what could I say[00:00:57]
So I said what's your name[00:01:03]
And she said you're all the same[00:01:07]
So I said don't act so strange[00:01:10]
I only asked your name[00:01:14]
The stars in the night sky she'd seen only once in her life[00:01:19]
But stars over girls parts on cold cut she sees every night[00:01:26]
She said somewhere in my tattooed jungle you will find my mum[00:01:33]
But she will disown me should she ever learn what I've done[00:01:42]
And she said what became[00:01:48]
Of my promised fame[00:01:52]
All I got was shame[00:01:59]
And she said you're all to blame[00:01:59]
And then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own[00:02:03]
Can't you see that the street side is my home[00:02:08]
I'm held by men at night but still I'm cold[00:02:12]
I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone[00:02:15]
She had hair like a willow tree choked at the side of the road[00:02:23]
Cardboard boxes for pillows she weeps as she reaps what she sows[00:02:30]
So I asked her if one day she'd mind joining me in my grave[00:02:38]
You know like them big ones you see with the family name[00:02:46]
But she said all she'd ever been[00:02:53]
Was a hoar and a slave[00:02:56]
And she didn't know[00:03:01]
If she had any soul left to save[00:03:02]
And she said why do you care[00:03:07]
So I said because I did[00:03:11]
Ever since I saw you standing there[00:03:15]
Well I couldn't help but stare[00:03:19]
And then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own[00:03:22]
Can't you see that the street side is my home[00:03:27]
I'm held by men at night but still I'm cold[00:03:31]
I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone[00:03:34]
And she must have had the most lonely face I've ever known[00:03:42]
Yeah she must have had the most lonely face I've ever known[00:03:49]
Well I tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong[00:03:57]
And I can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long[00:04:04]
If you ever see her I hope you succeed where I failed[00:04:17]
You know I cried for the cutey of kings cross the day she derailed[00:04:25]
Oh somebody please can you save her and take her away[00:04:34]
You know London will kill her you can't let the smoke have its way[00:04:42]
