From the recording Watercolor
Lyrics
Red Car
In a red car on the corner,
she waits for her lover,
and thinks of another
she knew so long ago.
Lately, she’s been thinkin’
of a sad case of livin’
and the choices she’s been makin’
has led her on this way.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me
anymore, she says.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me, anymore.
What she thought she knew
come crumblin’ down and blue.
Made her afternoon
feel like a lonely night.
All day long she’s gone
wonderin' what went wrong
or why they played that song
on the radio.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me
anymore, she says.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me, anymore.
And the lies, they tell about you.
And the lies they tell about you.
There's a dark cloud in the sky
and a tear in her eye
and a long sad good-bye
just passed her mind.
How can she trust again
to be open to a friend
and not sense the end
of this new affair.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me
anymore, she says.
I can’t be free, I can’t be me, anymore.
And the lies, they tell about you.
And the lies they tell about you.
