| This story's a sad one, the sort that you hear all the time |
| F | |
| but this time i'll bore you with details and open your mind |
| C | |
| it's the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town |
| C | |
| The first time i saw her the skin was so thin on her bones |
| F | |
| her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home |
| C | |
| so i thought can i save her, can i get her out harms way |
| F | |
| and she looked at me with those eyes so what could i say |
| C | |
| so i said whats your name |
| F | |
| and she said your a | ll the same |
| C | F | |
| so i said dont | act so strange i only a | sked your name |
| The stars in the night sky she'd seen only once in her life |
| but stars over girls parts on coldcut she sees every night |
| she said somewhere in my tattooed jungle you will find my mum |
| but she will disown me should she ever learn what i've done |
| and she said what became |
| of my promised fame |
| all i got was shame |
| and she said we're all to blame |
| and then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own |
| can't you see that the streetside is my home |
| i'm held by men at night but still i'm cold |
| i'm so lonely but you know i'm not alone |
| i'm not alone |
| i'm not alone |
| She had hair like a willow tree choked at the side of the road |
| cardboard boxes for pillows she weeps as she reaps what she sows |
| so i asked her if one day she mind joining me in my grave |
| you know like the big ones you see with the family name |
| but she said all she'd ever been was a hoar and a slave |
| and she didn't know if she had any soul left to save |
| and she said why'd you care |
| so i said because i did |
| ever since i saw you standing there |
| well i couldn't help but stare |
| and then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own |
| can't you see that the streetside is my home |
| i'm held by men at night but still i'm cold |
| i'm so lonely but you know i'm not alone |
| i'm not alone |
| i'm not alone |
| she must of had the most lonely face i've ever known, |
| yeah she must of had the most lonely face i've ever known |
| well i tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong |
| i can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long |
| if ever see her i hope you suceed where i failed |
| i cried for the cutey of kings cross the day she derailed |
| oh somebody please can you save her and take her away |
| you know london will kill her you can't let the smoke have its way |
