Strawberry Blonde (Album Version) - Ron Sexsmith[00:00:00]
She was not the girl next door[00:00:09]
But the girl from 'round the corner[00:00:12]
At the tail end of grade four[00:00:17]
When she came to school one morning[00:00:20]
And all eyes were upon[00:00:25]
Her as she took her seat[00:00:26]
Her name was Amanda[00:00:32]
With pretty eyes of green[00:00:36]
And hair of blonde strawberry blonde[00:00:39]
Springtime and dandelions[00:00:48]
And summer 'round the corner[00:00:52]
At the tail end of age nine[00:00:56]
With a million dreams before her[00:00:59]
She lived with her mother[00:01:04]
In an old decrepit house[00:01:07]
If there was trouble the house[00:01:12]
She kept it to herself[00:01:15]
All summer long the strawberry blonde[00:01:18]
And by her face there was no way to tell[00:01:28]
It seemed like all was well in her world[00:01:35]
But the neighbors said[00:01:43]
Her mother had lost her will[00:01:47]
To gin and sleeping pills[00:01:51]
It was no life for a little girl[00:01:54]
Still I see her face framed in blue sky[00:02:18]
At the top of a slide coming down[00:02:26]
And when the sirens wailed[00:02:33]
(Her mother had failed to rise)[00:02:37]
All the neighbors stood outside[00:02:41]
As Amanda just stared at the ground[00:02:45]
Time flies and years are piled[00:02:53]
I'd forgotten all about her[00:02:56]
When I saw her down the aisle[00:03:01]
Of a streetcar with her daughter[00:03:04]
Then I heard Amanda say as she got up[00:03:08]
"C'mon Samantha girl this is our stop"[00:03:16]
And they were gone two strawberry blondes[00:03:22]
