Lyrics Harry Chapin

Harry Chapin

Silly Little Girl

I was packed up in my knapsack

my guitar case slung up over my back

about to hit that dream road once again

saw the vision in my mirror

about how the springtime was getting nearer

so ill be back, babe, but I really don't know when

see the rainbow in the meadow

the sunlight chasing the shadows

such a thing is a day for leaving

this is one

don't let the old dog come follow

put a candle in the window

to light one light when my wandering days are done

she said stay home, you're getting too old for this

she said we're both alone I need someone besides a dream kiss

you go along and try to save the world

when you come home you won't find your women

so get yourself some silly little girl

just play that music to walking to

boy, you need some talking to

it's just a movie with you, with a rapidly aging star

it's not a comedy, it's a tragedy

a quick one to before you knew they'd have you

before you got too far

she said stay home, you're getting too old for this

she said we're both alone I need someone besides a dream kiss

you go along and try to save the world

when you come home you won't find your women

so get yourself some silly little girl
