Sad Loved Girl

I'm not afraid to take the chances

Of this being wrong or this being right

The long cold wind of discontentment

Has driven me from this dark night

She was

The sad loved girl of the neighbourhood

And he was

The man that put happy over good

He saw her trying on his old clothes

He watched her stretch

And pull and tear

He said you're impatient as the wind

Your laugh is strong

And right and scared

She was

The sad loved girl of the neighbourhood

And he was

The man that put happy over good

I've turned on all the lights in this small town

To the sisters and the daughters and the barking hounds

I know when to be good when its right to be good

So then why are all the towns folk not angry

She was

The sad loved girl of the neighbourhood

And he was

The man that put happy over good
