Lucy

words and music: Bergquist and Detweiler

recording: Besides

Oh Lucy, it’s not as bad as you think.

Oh Lucy, love’s a fact that can make a girl drink.

And you say that it’s over.

You say it’s the end of Lucy, Lucy, Lucy.

Oh Lucy, there’s a cold look in your eye.

Oh Lucy, I believe this is the way most dreamers die.

And Lucy’s starting over.

Lucy’s at the edge of Lucy, Lucy, Lucy...

God have mercy,

the house stands empty with the garden.

God have mercy,

your young girl’s heart will learn to harden.

Lucy, you can’t pray a lie,

no matter how hard you try.

Lucy, you can’t pray a lie.

You’re a bloody-minded girl and that’s alright.

You’re gonna be just fine.

Oh Lucy, it’s not as bad as you think.
