Jenny From the Corner

[Verse] Dusty dawns and city lights Jenny sings her tune Footsteps echo on the streets Her life a faded moon From the corner where she grew Shadowed by the clock Jenny's heart still wanders there Safe within that block [Verse 2] Old man Charlie by the store Told her tales so grand Whispers of the days gone by Dreams just like quicksand Through the laundry window A glimpse of days of yore Jenny from the corner She was longing for some more [Chorus] Jenny from the corner Where the pavements greet In her heart the city hums Her pulse Its steady beat Dreams escape on cloudy days But she won't lose the track Jenny from the corner Always coming back [Verse 3] Kids play in dusty fields The laughter echoes loud Jenny in her simple dress Standing tall and proud With a song inside her soul Skies forever gray She hums a tune of yesterdays 'neath twilight's soft array [Bridge] Time has flown yet here she remains Where concrete kisses sky In the corners of her dreams With the hope that won't die Underneath the neon glow She traces paths of old Jenny from the corner Where the stories softly told [Verse 4] Years drift by like fallen leaves Seasons wax and wane Yet Jenny’s steps are steadfast In joy and silent pain Through shattered glass and alleyways Her love remains unblocked Jenny from the corner With her heart forever locked
