bobbie's gone

Lyrics

beneath her clothes her heart is breaking, spends her mornings making lines, though her pain is real and aching, all she owns are borrowed lines, doesn't know which side to be on, though she's trying every door, only needs the floor she sleeps on, all she asks is a little more time, bobbie's gone to california, i won't see her anymore, bobbie's gone to california, like she did the year before, and the year before, the day she left her shirt was clinging, to her back wet with rain, i watched her leave heard her singing, a song she wrote when christmas came, bobbie's young but getting older, the face she shows is not her own, winter's near it's getting colder, california's called her home again, bobbie's gone to california, i won't see her anymore, bobbie's gone to california, like she did the year before, and the year before, the mirror gives back no reflection, of shadow she will not see, it understands she needs protection, of what she swears she has to be, bobbie's nights are empty tables, hold her 'til she's made to leave, bobbie's dreams are empty fables, she makes herself believe, to be free, sometimes she cried because of visions, of what she loved had all been sold, there's not much left no one to listen, to the echoes that she holds, how could i tell her when she's fading, she run out of a place to be, there will be no one waiting, for the poetry of her soul, i won't see her anymore, bobbie's gone to california, like she did the year before, and the year before
