| I met you on the corner with your lipstick and your lace,
|
| Frightened, sad and lonely, I could see it in your face.
|
| I asked you what your name was as you leaned against the wall
|
| And when you looked into my eyes I know you heard my spirit call.
|
| Come away from this restless night,
|
| Come away and walk in the light.
|
| You say it’s grey but life is black and white
|
| It’s gonna be alright, alright now
|
| Your bruised affection, broken heart, your torn and tattered dress
|
| You’ve had some problems in your life and girl I must confess
|
| That I don’t know the answers to the questions in your head
|
| But I love you little sister, please remember what I’ve said.
|
| Come away from this restless night,
|
| Come away and walk in the light.
|
| You say it’s grey but life is black and white
|
| It’s gonna be alright, alright now
|
| Instead of taking money from lonely men and hanging 'round outside bars
|
| You could lay down in the long grass and look up at the stars
|
| And try to think about the one who hung the galaxies in space
|
| He also has the power, girl, to help you find your place.
|
| Come away from this restless night,
|
| Come away and walk in the light.
|
| You say it’s grey but life is black and white
|
| It’s gonna be alright, alright now
|
| It’s gonna be alright now, yeah.
|
| It’s gonna be alright baby.
|
| You can, you can go home little girl
|
| And stop running 'round the world
|
| 'Cause it’s gonna be alright baby. |
