Jamie Green: Music
Unencumbered
She was young, maybe fourteen With braces and a nose ring She sat by me, in the subway We were waiting for the 1 Train She could not contain her glee She just bought a new CD She thought she'd share the news with me Unlike the others She was unencumbered I admit it, for a minute I thought she might have a screw loose To've begun this, conversation As if we’d be friends forever, yeah well… She could not contain her glee She just bought his new cd She thought she'd share the news with me Unlike the others She was unencumbered She didn't play by the big city rules Don't talk to strangers, don't look like a fool She didn't hide a single inch of her soul Pure gold See this girl, she was different She wasn't bothered by difference There we stood, on a full train And when her stop came the girl waved How lucky of me to see This girl's sweet humanity She thought she'd share a piece with me Unlike the others She was unencumbered (repeat bridge) She was young, maybe fourteen With braces and a nose ring She sat by me, in the subway It was … a better day than yesterday…
