Generate meaning
1
Beneath her clothes, her heart is breaking
2
Spends her mornings making lines
3
Though her pain is real and aching
4
All she owns are borrowed lines
5
Doesn't know which side to be on
6
Though she's trying every door
7
Only needs the floor she sleeps on
8
All she asks is a little more time
9
Bobbie's gone to California
10
I won't see her anymore
11
Bobbie's gone to California
12
Like she did the year before
13
And the year before
14
The day she left, her shirt was clinging
15
To her back wet with rain
16
I watched her leave, heard her singing
17
A song she wrote when Christmas came
18
Bobbie's young but getting older
19
The face she shows is not her own
20
Winter's near, it's getting colder
21
California's called her home again
22
Bobbie's gone to California
23
I won't see her anymore
24
Bobbie's gone to California
25
Like she did the year before
26
And the year before
27
The mirror gives back no reflection
28
Of shadow she will not see
29
It understands she needs protection
30
Of what she swears she has to be
31
Bobbie's nights are empty tables
32
Hold her 'til she's made to leave
33
Bobbie's dreams are empty fables
34
She makes herself believe
35
To be free
36
Sometimes she cried because of visions
37
Of what she loved had all been sold
38
There's not much left, no one to listen
39
To the echoes that she holds
40
How could I tell her when she's fading
41
She'd run out of a place to be
42
There will be no one waiting
43
For the poetry of her soul
44
I won't see her anymore
45
Bobbie's gone to California
46
Like she did the year before
47
And the year before
