"In A Young Girl's Mind" lyrics

In A Young Girl's Mind

Hand me my guitar
There's a song that I was singing
Back when I was young
And I had a good time

Looking for love
In the misty waters
Of the seas that roll
In a young girl's mind

Only in shadows
And lonely at night
She turns to you softly
You turn on the light

You use her and abuse her
And you know it ain't right
To treat one who loves you so badly
When she's doing the best that she can
You know she's doing
The best that she can

Do you believe in dreams?
Do you believe in dreamers?
Hoping that you'll find
What you're looking for

You don't have to worry
Cause there's a bright tomorrow
In the dreams that roll
In a young girl's mind

Only in shadows
And lonely at night
She turns to you softly
You turn on the light

You use her and abuse her
And you know it ain't right
To treat one who loves you so badly
When she's doing the best that she can
You know she's doing
The best that she can

So hand me my guitar
There's a song that I was singing
Back when I was young
And I had a good time

Looking for love
In the misty waters
Of the seas that roll
In a young girl's mind

Of the seas that roll
In a young girl's mind
