I met you on the corner

with your lipstick and your lace

Frightened, sad and lonely

I could see it in your face

I asked you what your name was

as you leaned against the wall

And when you looked into my eyes

I know you heard my spirit call

Come away from this restless night

Come away and walk in the light

You say it's grey but life is black and white

You're gonna be alright, alright now

Your bruised affection, broken heart

your torn and tattered dress

You've had some problems in your life

and girl I must confess

That I don't know the answers

to all the questions in your head

But I love you little sister

please remember what I've said

Come away from this restless night

Come away and walk in the light

You say it's grey but life is black and white

You're gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright now

Instead of taking money from lonely men

and hanging 'round outside bars

You could lay down in the long grass

and look up at the stars

And try to think about the one

who hung the galaxies in space

He also has the power girl

to help you find your place

So come away from this restless night

Come away and walk in the light

You say it's grey but life is black and white

You're gonna be alright, you're gonna be alright now

You're gonna be alright now

Yeah

You're gonna be alright baby

You can

You can go home little girl

And stop running 'round the world

'Cause it's gonna be alright baby

Hmm, hmm, yeah, oh oh ho wo wo oh wo oh wo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh wo oh wo [x2]
