about

lyrics

Have you seen the broken soul
The girl with the token role
Of always letting bad men break her heart?
She’s waiting there on Hawley Street
For the next man she’s doomed to meet
And in this sadistic way she plays her part

But Daisy May
I hope someday
This lesson you will learn:
Don’t give your love away for nothing in return

The silence just won’t let her cry
But in the corner of her eye
Is just the faintest echo of a tear
The quiet’s broken by the roar
Of waves she left upon the shore
The ocean weeps for you, Daisy, my dear

Oh Lady May
I hope someday
This lesson you will find
‘Who you’re with’ is not how you’re defined

Daisy, darling, dear
You must let go of all that fear
It’s fencing in your hopes and dreams
Daisy, darling, dear
Please believe the things you hear
Some things are exactly what they seem to be

She’s sitting washed-up by the sea
She’s silently ignoring me
She’s standing with a seashell to her ear
The shadows of her last goodbyes
Are ringing in her ears and eyes
And echoes are just shadows that we hear

But Daisy May
I hope someday
These words will ease your mind
What’s up ahead deserves what came behind

But Daisy May
I hope someday
This lesson you will learn:
Don’t give your love away for nothing in return
