Almost Lucy - Al Stewart

Lucy worked a different club every day
And though she put her mind to it

Her heart was never in it

She stayed around just long enough to get paid

She won't pass the time with you

She can't stay a minute

And all these changing faces never bothered her at all

That just existed like a back-drop

Or a pattern on the wall

Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call

She knows will come

But no-one else can hear at all

Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar

Hangs her clothes up

Hopes tonight the contract won't be broken

Well, they kick you round so much when you're not a star

Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token

But all these imperfections never bothered her at all

She says it sharpens your perception

When your back's against the wall

There's something that enables her to rise above it all

To shrug it off, just when it seems to go too far

I think you almost

Feel the pain coming on inside

I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

You don't know why

The last time that I saw her

She had given up the chase

Moved away to California

Got a suntan on her face

She says that life was just another time, another space

It's over now, she learned a lot

It's not a wasteI think you almost

Feel the pain coming on inside

I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

I think you almost

Feel yourself reaching out inside

I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

Don't know why
