A Young Girl (Une Enfante)

She left her neighborhood in which everyone was filthy rich

She left her parents at home and strayed with a vagabond

Who made vows of love she never heard and she believed his every word

She left no forwarding address just took her youth and happiness

And with the boy she vanished in

The secret sweetness of their sin

A young girl,a young girl of sixteen

Child of springtime still green

Laying there by the road

He told her love-demanded space so they roam from place to place

Although she realized she sinned she threw caution to the wind

As she followed him around while he slowly dragged her down

So overpowering was the love that he had made

It captured all the young girl's hearts and soul and mine

In another words love drove her blind

A young girl,a young girl of sixteen

Child of springtime still green

Laying there by the road

Too much emotion for a girl,she let her heart become her world

A world that God has never wrought that brought us under we are taught

Had she'd been wise and she had known,she could of fed him love alone

She should've know the day would come when he would quit her for fun

He needed fresh young meat to carve

And left her heart and mind to starve

A young girl,a young girl of sixteen

Child of springtime still green

Laying there by the road
