Its all alot of oysters and no pearls
But i recall the little red haired girl
How I used to sit on this bench in school
And stare at her across the playground
All i wanted was to sit next to her
Talk to her just be with her
That wasn't asking too much was it
But it never happened
Then she moved away
And I don't even know where she lives
Still got my lunchbox just in case
I even saved her a sandwich and a drink
I'm older now and my body feels strange today
Sitting here in the grounds we used to play
And I'm staring straight ahead at a red brick wall
Instead of my red haired girl
Still got that pencil she once dropped
With her teeth marks on the top
She nibbles on her pencil
Oh thank god
She's human after all
But then she moved away
And I don't even know where she lives
Still got my lunchbox just in case
I even saved her a sandwich and a drink
I miss the little red haired girl
I miss the little red haired girl
Why can't I talk to the red haired girl?
Well everything about her I recall
But i can't bring myslef to draw her
I know what kind of laces tied up her shoes
I just dont want to tell you all
And everything we look at from afar
Like the moon and like the stars
We could just reach out and touch
If we weren't afraid so much
Should have got up to talk to you
If I could only put my flask, down
But then she moved away
And I don't even know where she lives
Still got my lunchbox just in case
I even saved her a sandwich and a drink
I miss the little red haired girl
I miss the little red haired girl
Why can't I talk to the red haired girl?
