Stewart Eastham - Across the Sea Lyrics
With jet black hair and big brown eyesSuch a sweetness beneath that hard-bitten disguiseShe does what she wants and she does it so wellShe’s got secrets, she’ll never tellHer scars will cut you deep like a knifeThe most beautiful thing you’ll ever see in this lifeShe’ll break your heart with a single glanceBut you’ll always know right where she standsAcross the ocean, across the seaLives a small town girl from TennesseeThe whole damn world is burning downAnd she’s across the sea in London townYou knew her back when she was a girlAnd the powder disappeared up her nose with a twirlBut now she’s a woman, so honest and trueSo fetching and foreign to youShe flies like a falcon, her pretty wings spreadShe circles the globe while you’re stuck in your headOnce in a blue moon she comes back through townWith a passion so pure and unboundAcross the ocean, across the seaLives a small town girl from TennesseeThe whole damn world is burning downAnd she’s across the sea in London townShe’s got a freedom you so wish you hadSome call it a death wish, but you know it ain’t thatShe'll love you in ways you ain't been loved beforeBut she’s away on a far distant shoreThere’s something about her that stays when she’s goneLike a half remembered line from an old country songA mystical vision you can never quite graspSo you pray for her to come backAcross the ocean, across the seaLives a small town girl from TennesseeThe whole damn world is burning downAnd she’s across the sea in London town
