Vanessa Simmons — текст песни (The Barclay James Harvest)

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child
Wake up in the morning, frown across your face
I know your name, but not your place
Wish I could show you how to live your life
But I`m not sure which one of us is right
God only knows the tears I`ve cried
Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Have you got life wrong, is it just a game?
Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night
Friends are hard to find, especially at night
Wish I could show you how to live your life
But I`m not sure which one of us is right
God only knows, and He`s the one that shows, the tears I`ve cried

And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say
"Light`s not the only way to be"?
And if I asked you for your love, would you not say
"Love is not what you want from me"?
And would I not be right
To sit alone and wonder every night?

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name
Young and yet wise, only a child
Wish I could show you how to live your life
But I`m not sure which one of us is right
God only knows, and He`s the one that shows, the tears I`ve cried
