Long Limbed Girl - Nick Lowe

Long limbed girl

Where are you now?

When I think back in my mind

A sweet memory I find

But the edges are starting to curl

Where are you now, long limbed girl?

The other day, I was going through some old papers in my desk

When I came upon a photograph and I had to catch my breath

It was a picture of a girl tall and slender as a willow tree

And she had her arms 'round me

Long limbed girl

Where are you now?

Well, I wonder about you

And if you made it through

And had all your dreams come true now

Or has it been a long and bumpy road, long limbed girl?

So young and foolish

But so in love

You were my girl

Where are you now?

I wanna know what happened after me

Did you find love eventually?

And was it everything you’d hoped it would be?

Or has it been a long and bitter road, long limbed girl?

I wonder where you are tonight, girl

Wherever you are, follow your star, girl

In my mind, forever young long limbed girl
