The Girl Running

I see the girl running
With no shoes on her feet
Jumping shade to shadow
In this deafening heat

And I hear the trains coming
And the drunk man singing on the street
And the fan on the ceiling
Reeling
Me in to sleep

And I dream silent movies
Black and white memories I suppose
They’re the same old stories
But wearing in different clothes

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la

So where’s the girl running
With no shoes on her feet
Cos there’s no shade nor shadow
In this deafening heat
