Mayfield Four - Lyla lyrics

rate me

Lyla in bloom

her innocence and youth stripped away

eighteen years old

but she's lived the life of sixty-eight

the heartache of a mother gone

and father she's never known

so she dreams of a better place

Scared and alone

turning tricks and getting stoned to survive

Vegas sex queen

living in a world that's so obscene in a dead end life

at the end of every tragic day she says this to herself

If I can hold on I know

(Chorus) When I find my wings

I'll fly away

over the mountains

over the pain

and I won't look back

cause I've gotta get away from here

I've gotta get away from here
