From in the shadow she calls 
And in the shadow she finds a way 
Finds a way 
And in the shadow she crawls 
Clutching her faded photograph 
My image under her thumb 
Yes, with a message from my heart 
Yes, with a message from my heart 

She's been everybody else's girl 
Maybe one day she'll be her own 
Everybody else's girl 
Maybe one day she'll be her own 

And in the doorway they stay 
And laugh as violins fill with water 
Screams from the bluebells 
Can't make them go away 
Well I'm not seventeen 
But I've cuts on my knees 
Falling down as the winter 
Takes one more cherry tree 

She's been everybody else's girl 
Maybe one day she'll be her own 
Everybody else's girl 
Maybe one day she'll be her own  [bad word]  rivers, thread so thin, limitation 
Dreams with the flying pigs, turbin blue and the [bad word] too 
Safe in their coats and in their do's 
Yeah, smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots 
One day maybe one day 
One day she'll be her own 

And in the mist there she rides 
And castles are burning in my heart 
And as I twist I hold tight 
And I ride to work every morning wondering why 
"Sit in the chair and be good now" 
And [bad word] all that they told you 
The white coats enter her room 
And I'm callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' 

Everybody else's girl 
Maybe one day she'll be her own
