I took photos along the journey
A photo of a girl on the bus
But the film was unwound or the camera was broke
So all of the pictures were lost
I lost a photo of her face
She looked about twenty-three
A photo of her grey flannel dress that was cut
Just below her knee
The weight of the stars made the night fall down
Her hair made the whole town swoon
My heart was led by her pale, skinny legs
To the mattress in her room
No matter what my friends say, there's no rhyme or reason
I know I did something wrong
She had the wit, oh, she had the knack
The night didn't seem so long
The freckles upon her back
The grey hairs amongst the black
The quiver in her lips when she spoke far too quick
The lines upon her hands
The weight of the stars made the night fall down
Her hair made the whole town swoon
My heart was led by her pale, skinny legs
To the mattress in her room
No matter what my friends say, there's no rhyme or reason
I know I did something wrong
Oh, she had the wit, she had the knack
The night didn't seem so long
The weight of the stars made the night fall down
Her hair made the whole town swoon
My heart was led by her pale, skinny legs
To the mattress in her room
No matter what my friends say, there's no rhyme or reason
I know I did something wrong
Oh, she had the wit, she had the knack
The night didn't seem so long
