song lyrics from dundee 2

I remember her eyes when I hit her
They changed from light brown to blue
She cried like my babysitter
As she ran round the back of the school

She was a girl who was too tall to touch
Swayed like a reed, easy broken
She repeated herself but she didn’t say much
Such a shame, she was softly well-spoken

In her letter she told me she’d stolen a car
Just to make it in time for her flight
She’d slept in a doorway near Le Gare St Lazare
She’s no money, but that is alright

In the sauna she’d say that she had a degree
Her customers couldn’t care less
It wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be
Within 6 months she’d paid off her debts

I don’t know what she went on to do
I’ve heard rumours but nothing concrete
It would be good if all the rumours were true
If only life were that sweet
