Black Eyed Suzy

[Verse 1]
Black Eyed Suzy, she works the corner out
On the block where she was raised and I
Don't know how but she finds some comfort up amongst
The rubble and the Queen Anne's Lace, oh but
Nobody seems to notice her beauty wither away
Oh Black Eyed Suzy girl, how much more can you take?

[Verse 2]
We were lovers back when we were younger but
We all know how that can go, it's like
One day its roses and the next it's over and
Nobody asks 'cause ain't nobody want to know
Soon I'll find a place far away from this dirty heap
Oh and Black Eyed Suzy, she's still losing ground to the heat

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Well now some may give in to the wind
They'll take a flight just to forget the pain
Ah, but Suzy she's dug in too deep
She knows she's been beat, oh
But still she stands around and waits, oh but

[Verse 3]
Soon as season change, will bring the winter wind
Suzy, she'll try to fight it
But it won't be long before the cold embrace of a
Long November will decide it
What am I to do?
Oh, what am I to say?
I just watch from a distance
As Suzy withers away
