Lyrics Old Girl - Fernando Ortega

Every day
She will wander
Down the road
Back from town
Past all your houses
With their pretty lights
And their pretty rooms

Every day, all alone
Down from the canyon
To the shops and cafés
Looking for coffee
And a word or two
She would have with you

Have you ever seen her there
With no shoes
Stubborn as she goes
On and on
Do you know her face?
An old girl
Tangles in her hair

She will turn your pity down
Turn it right around
Old girl

Weathered girl
An old blanket
For a shawl, for a sleeve
Wrapped all around her
With her little dress
And her hard feet

Have you ever seen her there
With no shoes
Stubborn as she goes
On and on
Heaven only knows
Where she's been
Or the world she's in

She will turn your pity down
Turn away and frown
Old girl

An old girl
Heaven only knows
Where she's been
Or why she walks alone
On and on
Or when she's had a friend
She may have a prayer for you
She can read you too
Old girl

Heaven only knows
Where she's been
Or why she walks alone
On and on
Or when she's had a friend
She may have a prayer for you
She can read you too
Old girl
