The O'Brien Girl - Rupert Holmes

She first showed up on the third of May

And, by all rights, this is not her school

She lives a couple of towns away

And it’s all pretty strange

We don’t know why they have sent her here

She floats around like a mystery

But in this smoke, there is one thing clear:

She has gotten to me

She has gotten to me

Oh, the O’Brien girl …

When she walks, I see all I would ever need

What they say she’s done is done

We’re born to be

She looks away when you look at her

Her voice is soft when she speaks at all

And no one knows just what did occur..

It’s all very strange

I want to take her to higher ground

I want to hold her in open fields

And keep her there where the only sound

Is her talking to me

But they keep talking 'bout her

Oh, the O’Brien girl

All I hear is you

You deep inside the night

And I dream till day you stay

To see it through

Oh, the O’Brien girl …

When you walk, I see all I would ever need

What they say you’ve done is done

We’re born to be
