My Scarlet Purpose

Come little girl to a place I know
Down by the swimming hole
I would shed my skin in your warm embrace
And I would never be.

Cause people go and people change
I know its strange, I could never be your enemy

Daddy had a dollar when he bought the farm
And now its gonna save mom and me
He worked so hard his hard his tired life
And now he aint but a memory

And people go, And people change
I know its strange, I could never be a memory

Where do we go now?
I dont know
I see my face in your aural glow
And if I could be just one thing I'd be laid beneath the ocean's majestic waves.

To a little girl with a broken heart
I said you are gonna mean a lot to me
She said "I'd never love you but I like the way
That you want to be around me"

And people go, And people change
I know its strange, I could never be a memory

Little boy in Dallas with a heart of gold
And a face like haloween
A man in California said he liked your song
Hes gonna put it in a magazine

And people came, And people sang
And then people changed, And now he aint but a memory

Where do we go now?
I dont know
I see my face in your aural glow
And if I could be just one thing I'd be laid beneath the ocean's majestic waves.
