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
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
