One day you see a strange little girl look at you One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue She'd run to the town one day Leaving home and the country fair Just beware When you're there Strange little girl She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough It didn't take long before she knew she had enough Walking home in her wrapped up world She survived but she's feeling old And she found All things cold Strange little girl, where are you going? Strange little girl, where are you going? Do you know where you could be going? Walking home in her wrapped up world She survived but she's feeling old 'Cause she found All things cold Strange little girl, where are you going? Strange little girl, where are you going? Do you know where you could be going? Strange little girl, where are you going? Strange little girl, where are you going? Do you know where you could be going?
