Eleanor Young

Eleanor Young Eleanor young Eleanor child Standing on a lonely hilltop In the Appalachian Wild Eleanor sing Eleanor scream Shout loud to your own green world Doors don't open for the country girl Oh they lied to you They sung to you songs you weren't meant to hear They showed you a life your eyes were never meant to see You should have seen right through it But you believed Eleanor grow Eleanor cold Midnight in a dim lit diner In the driving Detroit snow Eleanor yearn Oh Eleanor learn One child with no last name Your boy's on the run Who do you blame Oh they lied to you He did to you things that you were taught were sin He took from you the best that was within you He showed you things your eyes were never meant to see But the saddest thing of all Is baby you believed Yeah yeah The saddest thing of all you believed Yeah mama you believed Eleanor age Eleanor cage See California on New Years Day Sun shines warm on the rose parade Eleanor ache Eleanor break Come out west With your last born child Grew up scared and weird and wild Oh you lied to me You hid from me knowledge I should have known You kept from me the life that was my own You shielded me from pains I should have seen For a very short while Mama I believed Yeah mama I believed
