The Girl of the Year
(Stephen Duffy)

She's the girl
Of the year
Of course

Looking down
Like she's
On a horse

She rubs the world out
Of her eyes.
Votive candles
Where she lies

That was last year
In the meantime
She has done a lot too quickly

What a lovely feeling
Now her heart's beating

Now now that the past is gone
Carry on, carry on
There's a moon behind the clouds
Carry on, carry on

She closed the book
On her
Plaster saints
All the old ways
And constraints

She can't believe
That she
Was so blind
Now she walks if they
Send a car

I suppose she was frightened
Under jasmine
She doesn't seem so anxious

What a lovely feeling
Now her heart's beating

Now now that the past is gone,
Carry on, carry on.
There's a moon behind the clouds,
Carry on, carry on.

Lullabyes
For those a-sleeping.
The words you say
She can't hear

I can't breathe
Heartfelt thank yous.
Serenade
Her dreams.

What a lovely feeling,
To feel her heart beating.

Now now that the past is gone
Carry on, carry on
There's a moon behind the clouds
Carry on, (she didn't know she could do anything) carry on

Now now that the past is gone
Carry on, (she didn't know she could love everyone) carry on
Silver moon behind the clouds
Carry on, (she didn't know she could do everything) carry on
Now now that the past is gone
Carry on, (she didn't know she could love anyone) carry on
There's a moon behind the clouds
Carry on, (she didn't know she could do anything) carry on
