Vanessa Simmons Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name 

Young and yet wise, only a child 

Wake up in the morning, frown across your face 

I know your name, but not your place 

Wish I could show you how to live your life 

But I'm not sure which one of us is right 

God only knows the tears I've cried 

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name 

Have you got life wrong, is it just a game? 

Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night 

Friends are hard to find, especially at night 

Wish I could show you how to live your life 

But I'm not sure which one of us is right 

God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried 

And if I asked you for the sun, would you not say 

"Light's not the only way to be"? 

And if I asked you for your love, would you not say 

"Love is not what you want from me"? 

And would I not be right 

To sit alone and wonder every night? 

Vanessa Simmons, funny kind of name 

Young and yet wise, only a child 

Wish I could show you how to live your life 

But I'm not sure which one of us is right 

God only knows, and He's the one that shows, the tears I've cried
