Rupert Holmes The O'Brien Girl
She first showed up on the third of May
And, by all rights, this is not her school
She lives a couple of towns away
And it's all pretty strange
We don't know why they have sent her here
She floats around like a mystery
But in this smoke, there is one thing clear:
She has gotten to me
She has gotten to me
Oh, the O'Brien girl ...
When she walks, I see all I would ever need
What they say she's done is done
We're born to be
She looks away when you look at her
Her voice is soft when she speaks at all
And no one knows just what did occur. .
It's all very strange
I want to take her to higher ground
I want to hold her in open fields
And keep her there where the only sound
Is her talking to me
But they keep talking 'bout her
Oh, the O'Brien girl
All I hear is you
You deep inside the night
And I dream till day you stay
To see it through
Oh, the O'Brien girl ...
When you walk, I see all I would ever need
What they say you've done is done
We're born to be
