lyrics

Now the Girl Turns Thirteen

Now the girl turns thirteen
The sun shines through the curtains
All the color in her birthday dress
Will fade away in time

Now the girl turns fourteen
She sneaks out till morning
But all the roses from her favorite boy
Will wither up and die

Now the girl turns fifteen
All her birthstone rings
Will crack and break

Now the girl turns sixteen
All the party guests
Will eat her angel cake

Now the girl turns seventeen
Hear the lazy morning wind
All the faces in her pictures
Soon will turn a ghostly gray

Now the girl turns eighteen
She’s so in love she’s crazy
But all the memories of her wedding night
Will someday slip away

Now the girl turns nineteen
All her love will turn to wanderlust
Now the girl turns twenty
Watch her outbound train
Turn daylight into dust
