Vancouver Songtext

von Genesis

She packed her bags and dressed
Long before the sunrise,
No one knew.
She told them many times
About how she would teach them,
And now it's time.

Standing quietly by the door,
Her face is numb with fear,
She stops and then goes on.
Leave forever - it's now or never.

Quickly walking down the street,
It's cold and grey, dawn's breaking,
She don't mind. (She don't mind.)
Why she feels so grown up now,
Her life is just beginning,
She don't know. (She don't know.)

She's standing in the pouring rain,
Her make-up's running down,
She wonders now she's here.
Where will I go? Who do I know?

Now, now she's not quite so sure.
“I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now
And they might worry”, but she doesn't want them to,
‘Cos causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do.

So she's back in bed before
Anyone can miss her,
She feels good. (She feels good.)
Knowing the chance was there,
Deciding not to take it,
That's her choice. (That's her choice.)

She's still awake, her mum comes in,
“Me and dad, we've had a chat
And we're sorry for the things we said,
Please forgive us, you wouldn't leave us?”
