just some sprouting thoughts

trouble is her only friend and he's back again ... makes her body older than it really is
she says it's high time she went away ... no one's got much to say in this town
trouble is the only way is down ... down, down ....

as strong as you were, tender you go, I'm watching you breathing for the last time
a song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means
and I'll carry you home, i'll carry you home

if she had wings she would fly away, and another day God will give her some
trouble is the only way is down, down, down ....

as strong as you were, tender you go, I'm watching you breathing for the last time
a song for your heart, but when it is quiet, i know what it means
and I'll carry you home, i'll carry you home

and they were born pretty in New York City tonight ... and someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight ... under the Stars and Stripes
