Wire Train - When She Was a Girl lyrics

Do you remember the working girl She was a Heroine to me Kept herself in a vial of water Evidentially She watched the boardwalk As the children came to play She wished for the years That she had sent away Outwardly Yes you knew Her When she was a girl And now she is no more Do you remember her flashing smile And the teeth she left behind You remember her memories But not her mind The fish market wives Always howl their cruel response They look for victims they can hang it on Outwardly Yes you knew Her When she was a girl And now she is no more I've seen a dream or two and I've watched them fade I've watched the cars drive by the motorcade You can make both pride and prejudice Your friend again You can make a king of anyone Outwardly Yes you knew Her When she was a girl But now she is no more
