lyrics

Eight years old with nothing but time up her sleeve
She dreamed of a world filled with depth and mystery
And dad doesn't care cause mum left long, long ago
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day she'll let this life go

And some say the devil follows her around all day
I think he'd keep his distance
Boys and barbie dolls never took her direction away
I told her I'd listen

She took my hand and we flew
Over vast plain deserts and mountain blues
And dreams are made of flesh and bone
She told me "Keep them safe from what's in the world."
Just a girl

Ten years later she's a woman with a plan
To build a wall and keep out heartbreak while she can
And even at eighteen with fire in her heart
A burning ambition to master an art.

And some say the devil follows her around all day
I think he'd keep his distance
And pipes and alcohol never took her attention away
Still I kept on listening

She took my hand and we flew
Over vast plain deserts and mountain blues
And dreams are made of flesh not what we own
She told me "Dream on dreamer, we're both in the world."

And maybe I'm choking on the smoke in my lungs
Please just tell me I'm going to a better place when I'm done
She took off my mask and said this ain't your last goodbye
I'll see you on the other side

She took my hand and we flew
Over vast plain deserts and mountain blues
And dreams are made of flesh and bone
She told me "Keep them safe from what's in the world."
Just a girl
