She felt the wind beneath her dress
And the wildness of her youth
As she made her face and changed her mind
And moved further from the truth
She called the bluff of nature's hand
As she set her whiskey down
And she told herself just one more time
As she struggled into town

She was drawn to strangers
Like a firefly to light
And with a devil's tongue
She would blow their minds
And she'd have them for a night

She's alone today
I've got her on my mind
She will push away
But I'm not far behind
Where she goes I will follow
Where she goes I will follow

She'd watch me play piano
But she would never leave a dime
She would say "Fly Me to the Moon"
And I'd play it every time
And she wants to have a moment
Of divine clarity
To tell her what she's doing
And what she's supposed to be

Chorus

She needs her faith to find a friend
But now she settles for her skin

In the absence of the starlight
In the moonless sunny day
Her life of night will haunt her
And she will wish it all away

Chorus
