Calling for my soul at the corners of the world -

Sometimes words just escape me for days, weeks at a time, and then I really need to settle for somebody else's.

From in the shadow, she calls
And in the shadow, she finds a way
Finds a way
And in the shadow, she crawls
Clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes, with a message for my heart
Yes, with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
And in the doorway, they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells
Can't make them go away
Well, I'm not seventeen
But I've cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
And the drugstores too safe
In their coats
Anda in their do's
Yeah smother in our hearts
A pillow to my dots
One day maybe one day
One day she'll be her own
And in the mist, there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now"
And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm callin' my baby
Callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin'
Everybody else's girl - maybe one day she'll be her own
