Patty Griffin - Catherine's Magic Stone lyrics

The simple girl A raggy dress A dirty face She's a mess Flower on the wall Waiting to dance You know She ain't got a chance Catherine's magic stone Only thing she calls her own It makes her laugh Seen her cry I wonder why Most of her time spent alone She goes to work Scouring the town Searching for cans Oh she ain't proud She'd like to take The world by the balls String em' up Laugh at em' all Catherine's magic stone The only thing she calls her own Makes her laugh Seen her cry I wonder why Most of her time spent alone Her mind splits With the full of the moon And her eyes cross When she's all out of booze But don't be deceived By what meets your eye She knows how to get by Catherine's magic stone Only thing she calls her own It's bigger than you or me The sky or the sea It's the world she calls her home It's bigger than you or me The sky or the sea It's the world she calls Her home
