Absolutely NineDays

“Her Own Two Feet”

Album: Something to Listen To (1995)

Written by: John Hampson and Brian Desveaux

Natalie Wood’s ghost is haunting me

She looks just like you

It’s a shame the two of us together were so wrong

So few

You flew down to Baltimore

With your brand new wings

I stayed and filled my life with useless, useless things

Doesn’t really matter where we spend our time

Two years ago

Just another long goodbye

Your words have frozen in this cold November air

Let me pretend that I don’t care

Kimberley watches from afar

She won’t stand too close

Cause when I’m lost in my head

Is when I miss her the most

I wrapped you up inside my heart

And folded you up tight

Didn’t realize you meant what you said

Meant what you said

Those days are over

No more splendor in the grass

Two years ago and it’s fading fast

It’s all washed away with the castles and the sand

Can’t tell tomorrow from the lines in your hand
