lyrics

She Couldn't Help But Believe by Ed E

She longed to move out to the country
Out into the woods among the trees
Not so much an escape but to Hope
Not out of fear yet to the unknown

She'd heard the stories
Wind blowing through the leaves
And at night the moon and the stars
She couldn't help but believe

tall dark man with short straight hair
Stood blocking the doorway waved his hands in the air
He said you can't leave there's nothing for you there
He was lying through his smile he knew but didn't care

She'd heard the stories
Wind blowing through the leaves
And at night the moon and the stars
She couldn't help but believe

She climbed through the window out onto the roof
It was so hot up there the tar felt like glue
She'd made a set of wings and prayed they'd help her fly
She strapped them to her arms and ran with all her might
As her foot left the edge
One shoe stayed behind
You can still see it from the window
Amysterious blue sign
(Chorus 2x)

She'd heard the stories
Wind blowing through the leaves
And at night the moon and the stars
She couldn't help but believe
