She Let Her Hair Down Lyrics - These Old Charms - Theresa Sokyrka

She let her hair down long and low 

And fumbled through her bag to find, 

The things she'd left behind because 

Goldfish, never live to be that old 

And swimming by you startled my old heart just like a box of jack 

But don't call for tricks dear 

Give me some cold cheer 

And Explain to me why reality is as dirty as your knobby knees 

But check to see how lovely it is 

Don't take my word as what it is 

To take from me and give to you is what I've always longed to do 

Believe me when I say that this is true 

And float right by on your little eye as simply as a butterfly 

But don't call for tricks dear 

Give me some cold cheer 

And explain to me why reality is as dirty as your knobby knees 

But check to see how lovely it is
