Shirley Jean from You Shine by Alex Vann

SHIRLEY JEAN

Shirley Jean -Where have you been?
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you
A photograph - a stolen laugh
All roads lead back to you

Another innocence lost
Another puzzle left undone
It’s hard to find words you should say
So I will put you in my song
And let your music play on and on

Who can know - how your garden grows
When you let nobody in?
Here Comes The Sun - for everyone
The Sound of Silence is deafening

You lived in a world of you own
Making - an escape from the past
Your friends were the books that you read
And symphonies, sonatas and songs
So let your music play on and on

And how the mighty can fall
Even though we were holding you up
You never could suffer a fool
And now your suffering has gone

So let your music play on and on

Da, da, da, da da da da da,
Da, da da, da da da, da, da

Shirley Jean - where have you been?
I’ve been lost without you

Shirley Jean - what have you seen
I’ve been looking for you

I’ve been dreaming of you

And I don't know what to do
