Noel Harrison - A Young Girl Lyrics
She left the neighborhood, in which everyone was filthy rich,She left her parents' home and went straight with a vagabond who madeVows of love she'd never heard, and she believed his every word.She left no forwarding address, just took her youth and happinessAs with the boy she vanished in, the secret sweetness of their sin.A young girl,A young girl who is sixteenChild of springtime, still green,Lying here by the road.He told her love demanded space, so they rode from place to place.Although she realized she'd sin, she threw cautions to the windAs she followed him around and he slowly dragged her down.So overpowering was her love that it made him the captain ofA young girl's heart and soul and mind.In other words: love drove her blind.A young girlA young girl who is sixteenChild of springtime, still green,Lying here by the road.Too much emotions for a girlShe let her heart become her world.But worlds that God has never wroughtFor a thunderHad she been wiser she would have knownShe could not feed him love alone.She should have known the day would comeWhen he would quit her just for crumbs.He needed fresh new meat to carveAnd left her heart and mind to starve.A young girlA young girl who is sixteenChild of springtime, still green,Lying here by the road.Dead.
