about

Bonus Track from "More Songs About Girls" recorded 1990.

lyrics

Wishes on the first star she sees
Nothing happens if you let it go by
Moving perfectly down my street
Even the sidewalks seem to sigh

And I wonder if you read her diary
Who's the boy who'll win her heart
I have a guess my name's not there
Can't bother her that we're apart when

Jesus follows Lisa home
She never has to be alone
He walks with her
like everyone else it seems he loves her too

Sometimes I walk past her house
Wonder what she's thinking about
Could she ever be lonely for someone, someone like me
I have my doubts

Jesus follows Lisa home
She never has to be alone
He walks with her
like everyone else it seems he loves her too

Could tragedy ever befall such a beautiful thing
Walks in the rain and says nothing and it doesn't seem to bother her at all

Just like every other jerk on the street I just want to say "hi"
She doesn't know me or need to
It doesn't seem to bother her at all

Nothing I have she could need
The whole world is in love with this girl
Wish I didn't have to try so hard
What could I ever offer someone like her when

Jesus follows Lisa home
She never has to be alone
He walks with her
like everyone else it seems he loves her too
