In a very beautiful city,
stands a very beautiful girl,
As you were running towards your departure gate,
She was running away from the world.
They said they'd change her fortunes,
Not the colour of her hair,
As though they come unto her window,
Not to ask for directions.
And where have all the family men gone?
And now she'll never trust no-one.
She probably came from the suburbs,
Of some forgotten town,
Desperate and destitute
And naive she was found.
A single bedroom apartment,
With a single window view,
It's right upon the riverside,
Where the streets are rarely silent.
And where have all the family men gone?
And now she'll never trust no-one.
But she's somebody's daughter just like you are somebody's son,
And if you knew the truth would it help you to put down the gun?
In a very beautiful city,
stands a very beautiful girl,
As you were running towards your departure gate,
She was running away from the world.
