Girls Around Here

from NAKED TRUTHS by John Hanlon

about

No matter how painful life might get, a girl can always dance.

lyrics

She says it’s nothing much
A matter of the heart
Another tale to talk about
Like all the other scars
And buried by the sound
The echoes of the parting words
The wind that tears the leaves apart
The screams that can’t be heard
And when it’s time to leave
And when it’s all been done
There’s only ever love
There’s only ever one

And the girls round here
The girls round here
They’re dancing
The girls round here
The girls round here
They’re dancing

And all that went before
And all that might have been
Bewildered by the thought of all
The tragedies she’s seen
And all your magic woven words
And all of your imagining
It never did get heard
It never changed a thing
And all the angry telephones
And all the hollow men
Are frozen in the photographs
Forever to remain
