somebody's daughter - the book club (band) lyrics
in a very beautiful city
stands a very beautiful girl
as you were running towards your departure gate
she was running away from the world
they said they’d change her fortunes
not the colour of her hair
as though they come unto her window
not to ask for directions
and where have all the family men gone?
and now she’ll never trust no*one
she probably came from the suburbs
of some forgotten town
desperate and destitute
and naive she was found
a single bedroom apartment
with a single window view
it’s right upon the riverside
where the streets are rarely silent
and where have all the family men gone?
and now she’ll never trust no*one
but she’s somebody’s daughter just like you are somebody’s son
and if you knew the truth would it help you to put down the gun?
in a very beautiful city
stands a very beautiful girl
as you were running towards your departure gate
she was running away from the world
