The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

You’ve got to allow for the rain,
That’s as sad as a bluebird
That old lover’s refrain
Watch your little bridges burn
And her heart was undone
Like a tattered old sneaker
What’s a girl to do with a heart so blue

We live in this town that’s too small for pride
It’s too small for a decent place to hide
That’s how the story goes, or better yet, how the story went

When the flames got too high
I stepped back in the shadows
But I still watched it burn
I still watched the ashes fly
And my thoughts they did rust
In twisted old pieces
What’s a girl to do with a heart so blue

We live in this town that’s too small for pride
It’s too small for a decent place to hide
That’s how the story goes, or for shame, how the story went
