Farewell to Jenny Lynd by Kevin McDermott Lyrics

Can you remember what she said?
When it was time to leave
And lift your lazy head

When all you heard from her was true
And all she told you then
Was everything you knew

And though her hair’s a little different
It’s just as beautiful to me
She’s the queen that wears the crown
The kind that only saints can see

And she’s a young girl
The one knew me first
And she’s a young girl
The one that’s far too good
To be mending my shoes

Where have you heard those words before?
It’s what you’ve told yourself
A thousand times or more
It’s a little more than déjà vu
When there’s something about her
That’s reminding her of you

And though her hair’s a little different
It’s just as beautiful to me
She’s the queen that wears the crown
The kind/sort that only saints can see

And she’s a young girl
The one that knew me first
And she’s a young girl
The one that’s far too good
To be mending my shirts

And she’s young girl
And she’s young girl
And she’s a young girl
And she’s young girl

Can you remember what she said?
When it was time to leave
And lift your lazy head
