B                   C#m
She went off to the city
   E                         B
To find what she was looking for
B               C#m
To identify, to really try
    E                  B
To  find herself  some hope
B                       C#m
With the summer sun for laughing
                        E               
And the winter rain did pour
        B             C#m
She was lovelier from learning
         E              B
And from living, loving more
B                         C#m
From her dancing love and young soul
        E              B
And the gypsies in her dream
       B                    C#m
To the pulse of stark acceptance
         E               B
When the winds began to freeze
                        C#m           
With no curfews left to hold her
      C#m                  E
And no walls to shield her pain
        B                   C#m
Finding out that facts were older
         E               B
And that life forms are insane.
B               C#m
The presence of protection seemed
   E                B
To fade, as did her doubt
                    C#m
That she now was no exception
            E                   B
Nor was the love who pushed her out
           
Though the streets cried out,
       C#m
Go, homesick
         C#m                    E
Virtues strength of mind would ring
       B           C#m
In the maladies of meaning
        E                    B
The sad song she learned to sing.
B                     C#m
Now, her teachers and philosophers
        E              B
And the poet's silver throat
                         C#m              E              B
Are the vessels which on wisdom's karmic  ocean she will float.
                 C#m
Was this her revolution,
                       E
Just a child in love's crusade,
         B                     C#m
With the question in her innocence
            E                 B
Through the lies her eyes betrayed?
