Lyrics

When I was young, I knew a girl
 Who wouldn't love god as a test
 Or gamble with her happiness
 And so led astray
 So she did turn
 Her father would say
 'You're only a guest of the master'
 But passion was her sunday best
 And she fell away
 She fell away
 She fell away
 She fell away from the side of the lord
 And she was free to do what she wanted
 With clouds of her own
 Na na na na
 When she grew up, she fell in love
 She thought it was all that she wanted
 She knew how it felt to be haunted
 And he ran away
 Picked herself up
 And said through her tears
 Don't waste anymore of your time
 You'll spend it all standing in line
 They'll turn you away
 She fell away
 She fell away
 She fell away from the side of the lord
 And she was free to do what she wanted
 With clouds of her own
 Na na na na
 Oh but superstition
 And your heart's permission
 'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough
 To make it alone
 Then when she died
 She didn't ask god
 To take her back into his graces
 She'd taken on to many shapes
 And too many were strange
 And as they lay her in to the ground
 Her spirits, they all flew all away
 The sun shone so bright on that day
 You thought it was spring
 She fell away
 She fell away
 She fell away from the side of the lord
 And she was free to do what she wanted
 With clouds of her own
 Na na na na
