PEGGY'S SONG

from MONA LISA SMILE by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

She walks along the lonely street
With her worn out shoes on her tired old feet
And her tattered coat keeps out the rain.
She heads down to the local store
And she sits inside the big glass door
And there, for hours, she will remain.

Folks who know her, they would say
She comes around most every day
The days have slowly turned to years.
And the lost expression on her face
Says she's trapped in time in another place
And her sad old eyes seen many tears.

Chorus
And there she sits to watch the world go by
Like a fallen bird without wings to fly
Lost and scared and all alone
Then she slowly wanders home.

Evening comes and the sun goes down
She slowly makes her way uptown
The cold north wind begins to blow.
And the little kids, they play silly games
They jest and jeer and they call her names
And if she's mad, she doesn't show.

Chorus

She wakes up with the early dawn
She's fed and dressed and she's up and gone
Like yesterday and the years before.
With her worn out shoes on her tired old feet
In her tattered coat, she walks the street
And heads down to the local store.

Chorus
