North Star from Truer Picture by Graham Sharp

The movie that she saw on her first date
Was the typical boy and girl kind
But when he bent down to kiss her goodnight
She’d already left him behind

And she never did know what she wanted
Until she climbed in the passenger seat
With an older man and the top down
And felt the speed of the road ‘neath her feet

And now she’s running away ‘cross the desert
Out of LA, heading south
And out of the arms of all she’s ever known
But they never really knew her anyhow

And maybe she was hoping for too much
But hoping was so easy then
To think that that man who took her away
Could be the one to take her in

And now she’s running away ‘cross the desert
Out of LA, heading south
And out of the arms of all she’s ever known
But they never really knew her anyhow

Now she sends home a card every Christmas
Saying me and your granddaughter’s fine
But there’s always a blank space for the return address
So they gave up knowing her mind

Now she lives all alone like that North Star
So bright and so far gone
And as the heavens go wheeling around her
Finally, she’s feeling at home
Yes, finally, she’s feeling at home
