Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's

Her eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you
D G
With your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah

As the train doors closed I saw you through the window
D G
You watched me as I waved; the train took you away

I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone
I went down to the river, you hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared
