Billy Cross’s Daughter.
Music and Lyrics by Thom Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2010.
Billy Cross lived in a house with his three daughters,
When their mother had come undone,
And he gave them all the best he could afford,
But in the end, it wasn’t enough.
In the end, it just wasn’t enough.
Now the street and the house were always weary,
And their eyes were as hungry as hell,
For the things that glittered and attracted them,
To the city, and Billy could tell.
To the city, and Billy could tell.
**
And he said,
Girl, it’s no the clothes that you wear,
Or how much you buy and spend,
That makes you you.
She said yeah, but the way that it is,
Is that the world ain’t ever gonna see it like you do.
He said it’s not the clothes that you wear,
Or the money that you spend,
Or what you do.
She said yeah, but the way that it is,
Is that the world ain’t ever gonna share your point of view.
**
So she went, with her pockets full of misery,
To the station, to get herself a train,
And as she saw it, coming to her from the distance,
She said, I don’t ever wanna come back here again,
I don’t ever, wanna come back to this place again.
In the city, she was a stranger,
And nobody knew her name,
So she changed it, and acted like a different person,
And she cut her hair, and she dressed a different way,
Yeah, she cut her hair, and she dressed a different way.
**
And so it seemed that all that she had needed,
Had been to get on out up and leave where she had been,
You know they always say “you’re better where you are”,
But I’d rather take the chance and spread my wings,
No matter where you are,
Where you stop, or where you start, or where you‘ve been,
You can always come back home,
In your head or in your heart, or in your dreams,
Yeah, you can always come back home,
In your head or in your heart, or in your dreams.
