lyrics

When the ground came up to meet her
She was seventeen years old.
With eyes blue like an ocean.
And hair, a shade of gold.
She stole off with a camera.
She took her mother's car.
And blasted down the interstate
Above the black hot tar.

Oh, her parents wept.
Stay here a little longer,
Just stay a little longer.
Oh, the day she left
Was the day her life began.

Friday night, the desert air
Brushing back her long blond hair.
The twirling constellations left
And emptiness, despair in her heart.
She could not outpace.
Stay here a little longer,
Please stay a little longer.
Staring into space
Life's meaning lost its weight.

Postcards and photographs.
Flowers pressed between the pages.
Never led the parents any
Closer to their one and only.
'Til the paper clipping
of some small town front page tragedy.
Told the story of a restless,
Frightened teenage girl, lonely.

Oh, her parents wept.
Stay here a little longer,
Please stay a little longer.
Oh, the day she left
Was the day her life began.
