Each time her hair gets wet
It likes to pirouette
Along her silhouette
And rest upon her skin
And bolts of silver light go spiraling
And I just hope I make the time to take it in

When she gets tired it takes all she's got to stay awake
When she gets wired, well you can't get a word in edgeways
When she gets sad she takes it bad but she don't complain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain

And when here eyes get lost
Then pretty soon her life gets tossed aside
And like those silver locks here mind goes spinning wild
What kind of god would wish this on his child
A heart that breaks and heals a thousand times

When she gets tired it takes all she's got to stay awake
When she gets wired, well you can't get a word in edgeways
When she gets sad she takes it bad, but she don't complain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain

And if she needs a shoulder she can take mine and be stronger still
Until the aching's over my girl, she takes a pill

When she gets tired it takes all she's got to stay awake
When she gets wired, well you can't get a word in edgeways
When she gets sad she takes it bad, but she don't complain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain
And when she gets ill she take a pill to ease the pain
