She'll Never Be Mine

Keith Landry

Sometimes you just gotta hack away at the acoustic. Oh, and for those of you listening from the New Hampshire coastal music scene, I “borrowed” your documentary title. Had to do it.

SHE’LL NEVER BE MINE

Raised on the water
Born on the tracks
One thing you taught her
Never look back
Unbound emotion
She doesn’t know why
Poetry in motion
She’s learned how to fly

Raised on the water
Have you looked in her eyes?
A fatherless daughter
No time for goodbyes

Where does her mind go in the morning?
Running wild through infinite time
Is she sending out a message, or is it a warning?
She’ll never be yours, and she’ll never be mine

Raised on the water
Underneath an angry sky
To a life that brought her
To where she’ll lie

It’s so easy to love her
Running wild through infinite time
She’s in danger of being discovered
She’ll never be yours, and she’ll never be mine
