Come Away

I met you on the corner with your lipstick and your lace
Frightened, sad and lonely, I could see it in your face

I asked you what your name was as you leaned against the wall
And when you looked into my eyes I know you heard my spirit call

Come away from this restless night
Come away and walk in the light
You say it's grey but life is black and white
You're gonna be alright, alright now

Your bruised affection, broken heart, your torn and tattered dress
You've had some problems in your life and girl I must confess

That I don't know the answers to all the questions in your head
But I love you little sister, please remember what I've said

Come away from this restless night
Come away and walk in the light
You say it's grey but life is black and white
You're gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright now

Instead of taking money from lonely men and hanging 'round outside bars
You could lay down in the long grass and look up at the stars

And try to think about the one who hung the galaxies in space
He also has the power girl to help you find your place

So come away from this restless night
Come away and walk in the light
You say it's grey but life is black and white
You're gonna be alright, you're gonna be alright now

You're gonna be alright now
Yeah
You're gonna be alright baby
You can
You can go home little girl
And stop running 'round the world
'Cause it's gonna be alright baby

Hmm, hmm, yeah, oh oh ho wo wo oh wo oh wo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh wo oh wo
