Somewhere Out West - Amber Hayes

She stands alone on the school playground

In red role, present a suede French dress

Full of questions as the sun goes down

Somewhere out west

She keeps a stack of letters in a perfume case

Postmarked no return address

Words of love from a far out place

Somewhere out west

Far from these pinewood hills

These closed up mines

These roomer mills and judging eyes

Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies

Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

She’s only heard his name in the soft hushed tones

What he did she can only guess

Why would daddy have to make his home

Somewhere out west?

When she brings him up they tell her «hush hush Holly»

Believe this honey, it’s for the best

But little Mike still runs wild

Somewhere out west

Far from these pinewood hills

These closed up mines

These roomer mills and judging eyes

Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies

Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

Someday she’ll find the answers to her questions

That part of her that’s missing

That’s missing her too

Far from these pinewood hills

These closed up mines

These roomer mills and judging eyes

Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies

Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

She stands alone on the school playground

In red role, present a suede French dress
