lyrics
GIRL IN BLUE
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
December 1933 - under icy skies of Willoughby
Hazel eyes, auburn hair, five-foot-four, freckled fair
Off the gray Great lake to Second Street, the boarding house to rest her feet
She walks the lane with warm hellos For strangers she will never know
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
Beyond the brush of maple trees - Waits her grievous destiny
Unforeseen in such a youth - Will we ever know the truth?
Mind dead set to meet the track, Knew there was no looking back
Restless for that speeding train, A swift escape, can't explain
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
Blue coat, blue shoes,
Are blue devils always chasing you?
Alone, no clues
Why are you passing through?
The Devils always chasing you...
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
December 1933 - under icy skies of Willoughby
Hazel eyes, auburn hair, five-foot-four, freckled fair
Off the gray Great lake to Second Street, the boarding house to rest her feet
She walks the lane with warm hellos For strangers she will never know
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
Beyond the brush of maple trees - Waits her grievous destiny
Unforeseen in such a youth - Will we ever know the truth?
Mind dead set to meet the track, Knew there was no looking back
Restless for that speeding train, A swift escape, can't explain
The girl in blue (where is she goin' to?)
The girl in blue (a coat of wool and dress of cotton)
The girl in blue (what is she gonna do?)
Unknown but not forgotten.
Blue coat, blue shoes,
Are blue devils always chasing you?
Alone, no clues
Why are you passing through?
The Devils always chasing you...
