Girl - Leyla McCalla

Girl Lyrics

She lived in sinful happiness
And she died in pain
She danced in sunshine
And laughed in rainShe went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody
She'd be coming back againFolks built her a coffin
And they hid her deep in the earth
Seems like she said,
"My body brings new birth"She went one summer morning
Where the flowers spread the plain
She told everybody
She'd be coming back againFor sure there grew flowers
And tall young trees
Sturdy tweeds and grasses
To sway in the breeze
And sure she lived in growing things with no pain
That dance in sunshine and laugh in the rain.
