On Her Way dennispalmer bmi

They say that she had something different from the rest
Sure to go somewhere with her smile and her finesse
She held a fire inside her; you could see it in her eyes
A desire to be somewhere beyond these little lives

Oh so young and on her way

In the world of fashion models she became a shooting star
Favored with designer drugs, champagne and caviar
LA to St. Petersburg, Miami to Madrid
She posed for glossy magazines like she dreamed of as a kid

Worldly wise and on her way

She left her face in Rio just to visit and old friend
She said she?d stay beside him
(at least until the money ends)

The winter sun was hot there; you could taste the ocean breeze
She would hang out in the grotto waiting for the frame to freeze

She caught a plane to Paris where the Roses were in bloom
They did the shoot on Sunday, spent Monday at the Louvre
The fashion scene surrounds her; the lights are in her eyes
She smiles into the camera, but she knows that it?s all lies

Weary, wise and on her way

She left her face in Rio just to visit and old friend
She said she?d stay beside him

To some she?s just another face that sells the Magazine
A thousand more just like her begging for the scene
The fading light?s receding, she?s fallen from their grace
She?d sell all her tomorrow?s for that forbidden taste

When she was young and on her way
Oh so young and on her way
