Almost Lucy - Al Stewart

Lucy worked a different club every day

And though she put her mind to it

Her heart was never in it

She stayed around

Just long enough to get paid

She won't pass the time with you

She can't stay a minute

And all these changing faces

Never bothered her at all

They just existed like a back-drop

Or a pattern on the wall

Lucy looks like someone

Who is waiting for a call

She knows he'll come

But no-one else can hear at all

Lucy finds the dressing room

And the bar

Hangs her clothes up hopes tonight

The contract won't be broken

Well they kick you round

So much when you're not a star

Make you play all night

Just for a pittance or a token

But all these imperfections

Never bothered her at all

She says it sharpens your perception

When your back's against the wall

There's something that enables

Her to rise above it all

To shrug it off just

When it seems to go too far

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel the pain comin' on inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

You don't know why

The last time that I saw her

She had given up the chase

Moved away to California

Got a suntan on her face

She said that life was just

Another time another space

It's over now she learned a lot

It's not a waste

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel the pain comin' on inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel yourself reaching out inside

Hey hey hey I think you almost

Feel it now and you don't know why

You don't know why
