lyrics  (or you can return to the main lord eric page)

She Gets On and Off

She gets on and off and she takes me there
Sleepyeye dream awake
She gets on and off and she's not aware
How I would do anything it would take

Just to be allowed to touch her hand
Just to be around her when I can
It's something that I don't believe I'll ever understand

She gets on and off and she takes me there
Ever a mile away
She gets on and off and she's everywhere
Ever a smile, never a cloudy day

And never close enough to shy away
And never time to see if she would stay
It's something that I don't believe I'll ever get to say

Bus stop rain and windowpane reflections of her face
Perfect plain projections of her grace
Tired smile some morning mile she'd never think I'd see
Fall into some way I'd never be

It's something that I wish I were
I fall away invisible
When I step off she never really sees
