Billy Childish

Girl From '62

Billy Childish


She was a girl from 1962
I was a boy from 1959
I walked up to her in my broken shoes
Dragging my soul thru the grime
She was a girl from 1962
I walked the line
I fell to my knees it was 16 after 2
I was a boy from 1959
I looked to her eyes i needed a cue
I looked to my hands but they werent mine
She was a girl from 1962
I walked the line
3295 days between us did divide
Upon my grave i will atone
For the time i left that girl alone
She was a girl from 1962
I walked the line
