[Verse 1]
In the summer when she laid down beside me
Finding shelter on a rainy day
She rolled over on the bed, smiling
Whenever she dug on herself again
Then she ran away
She ran, she ran away
When I found her on the streets of Boston
A marketplace with some market price
I should have recognized the things about her
She wouldn't stay and she wouldn't fight
[Chorus]
To those outside her linе
They didn't look that much different
Thе closer you looked
The less you would see them
[Verse 2]
When she got tired, she moved to Florida
Into Gatorville and points east
Became a victim of the well of ideas
They meant nothing to her in the least
As the sun came up the sea was deserted
A strange and unpleasant sight
She's still searching for answers to questions
Left behind from her teenage years
When she ran away
When she ran away
[Bridge]
Listen to her shouting
Hoping for nothing
But when her time will come
[Chorus]
Those outside her line
Will be only a memory
The closer you looked
The less you would see them
[Chorus]
Those outside her line
Will be only a memory
The closer you looked
The less you would see them
