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
