No Ordinary Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I first saw her in the month of February Gliding through the market hall Shallow steps and singing softly Round her head a scarlet shawl I next saw her on the road to Kington Fixing cars with a steady gaze I drove on past uncertain how to Make sense of her solitary ways [Chorus] Strange hands, strange beauty Not a face for the modern world Still searching, going nowhere No ordinary girl No ordinary girl [Verse 2] I saw her once again in August Moved closer so I could speak Held my breath and walked on past That long scar upon her cheek I heard the talk in the pub that evening The ugly talk of a beauty rare The talk of men who went home lonely Who dreamt of trying but wouldn't dare [Chorus] Strange hands, strange beauty Not a face for the modern world Still searching, going nowhere No ordinary girl No ordinary girl [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I never heard or saw her after I never felt that steady gaze When I asked around no one had seen her But only the stories and rumours remain [Chorus] Strange hands, strange beauty Not a face for the modern world Still searching, going nowhere No ordinary girl No ordinary girl Strange hands, strange beauty Not a face for the modern world Still searching, going nowhere No ordinary girl No ordinary girl No ordinary girl No ordinary girl
