Allan Wilson - All She Ever Wanted Lyrics

Lyrics All She Ever Wanted - Allan Wilson



She was born on the road
She came to our town long ago
Well she moved in like the night
And the world faded from sight
As if the river no longer knew how to flow
She was free, that was all she wanted to be
Just free
She held her life in her hands
She was a stranger in this land
She was free
She'd go down to the river all alone
And watch the water flow on home
And she dreamed of other times
Larger places in her mind
Where everything would be there to find
She dreamed of sirens and diamonds
Cocktail parties on the islands
She dreamed of earning her way to happiness
She longed for friends in the cities
But she felt lost like Ulysses
In our home town, lone on the bay
So she longed to head out on the road
She was tired of our town long ago
Her sadness moved in like the night
And we all faded from sight
As if the river no longer knew how to flow
She was free, that was all she ever wanted to be
Just free
She held her life in her hands
She was a stranger in this land
She was free
Well time went by the years they passed away
But in this town she had to stay
Opportunities did not arise
You can see the pain in her eyes
As she feels that life has passed her by
She still goes to the river all alone
To watch the water flow to the unknown
I watch her standing there
I watch the way the wind blows her hair
And I know I'll never lay it on the line
Yea she's longing to head out on the road
She was tired of my town long ago
My sadness moved in like the night
And the world faded from sight
As if the river no longer knew how to flow
She was free, that was all she ever wanted to be
Just free
She held her life in her hands
Last thing she wanted was a man
She was free
Free, that was all she ever wanted to be
Just free
She held her life in her hands
Last thing she wanted was a man
She was free
