Hand Over Head

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When she flew into town Her feet never met the ground But I saw her face Like a bright, proud flower But something around the eyes Shadows that put the lie to her laughing voice And those brave, brave words [Chorus] Some of us live too hard And some of us die too young And some are destroyed by All they might have done [Verse 2] I knew a man long ago A hermit who held no hope In his withered heart Or his sad, sad eyes He lived a life of counterfeit Pretending his life was sweet Let others take chances He was too afraid to make [Chorus] Some of us live too hard And some of us die too young And some are destroyed by All they might have done [Bridge] Oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh [Chorus] Some of us live too hard And some of us die too young Some are destroyed by All they might have done [Verse 3] And she flew out again Waved to the crowd and then Hand over head She was gone [Chorus] Some of us live too hard And some of us die too young And some are destroyed by What they might have done
