Poor Little Allison

Poor Little Allison

(album: Sit Down Young Stranger / If You Could Read My Mind - 1970)

Poor little Allison
Standing in the night wind
Wishing out loud
Turning her face to the summer rain
Poor little Allison
Never had much going
Hard to forget
Always in step with the world she's in
Never knowing never feeling
Showing so much pride
Never saying what she's thinking
Or feeling deep inside

Poor little Allison
Dreaming of the right one
Laughing out loud
Lost in a crowd of fair weather friends

Never knowing never feeling
Showing so much pride
Never saying what she's thinking
Or feeling deep inside

Poor little Allison
Standing in the night wind,
Wishing out loud
Turning her face to the summer rain
Hard to forget
Always in step with the world she's in
