Lyrics

Sitting down there by the street
Second hands on her feet
I pass her a couple of bucks and drive away
I wonder where she'll lay her head when the sun goes to bed and darkness steps in and pulls down the shades.

Hey hey hey i wonder where she go today

Whoooa whooa whoa can you hear the night fall?
Can you hear the night fall?

No she's not in Kansas anymore
I guess she couldnt avoid the storm and her yellow brick road is covered with broken glass

But is there a happy soul underneath the nowhere to go?
Is there a safe place that ever really last?

Hey hey hey i wonder where she go today

Whoooa whooa whoa can you hear the night fall?
Can you hear the night fall?

She plays the air guitar to the music of the passing cars
With a smile they cant drive away hey

I wonder where she'll lay her head when the sun goes to bed and darkness dances around broken street lights?

Hey hey hey i wonder where she go today

Whoooa whooa whoa can you hear the night fall?
Can you hear the night fall?
