Most Lonely Face Lyrics - Holloways

This story's a sad one, the sort that you hear all the time 

But this time I'll bore you with details and open your mind 

It's the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town 

The first time I saw her the skin was so thin on her bones 

Her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home 

So I thought, can I save her, can I get her out of harms way 

And she looked at me with those eyes so what could I say 

So I said, what's your name 

And she said, you're all the same 

So I said, don't act so strange 

I only asked your name 

The stars in the night sky she'd seen only once in her life 

But stars over girls parts on cold cut she sees every night 

She said, somewhere in my tattooed jungle you will find my mum 

But she will disown me should she ever learn what I've done 

And she said, what became 

Of my promised fame 

All I got was shame 

And she said, you're all to blame 

And then her eyes said, don't you leave me standing on my own 

Can't you see that the street side is my home 

I'm held by men at night but still I'm cold 

I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone 

She had hair like a willow tree choked at the side of the road 

Cardboard boxes for pillows she weeps as she reaps what she sows 

So I asked her if one day she'd mind joining me in my grave 

You know like them big ones you see with the family name 

But she said all she'd ever been 

Was a hoar and a slave 

And she didn't know 

If she had any soul left to save 

And she said, why do you care 

So I said, because I did 

Ever since I saw you standing there 

Well, I couldn't help but stare 

And then her eyes said don't you leave me standing on my own 

Can't you see that the street side is my home 

I'm held by men at night but still I'm cold 

I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone, I'm not alone, I'm not alone 

And she must have had the most lonely face I've ever known 

Yeah, she must have had the most lonely face I've ever known 

Well, I tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong 

And I can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long 

If you ever see her I hope you succeed where I failed 

You know I cried for the cutey of kings cross the day she derailed 

Oh, somebody please can you save her and take her away 

You know London will kill her, you can't let the smoke have its way
