A Place Of Her Own

(album: Heroes - 2022)

She got a job at a diner in the South Slope
It's a nice place in its own way
She had to move back to Queens with her mom though
She takes the F train
It's a long way

Charlie's walking now
She knows that he'd be proud
She wakes up early in the morning for the F train
And she's making her way
She's making her pay in the South Slope
It's a nice place

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
Wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

Carve out a space
Just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

Summer's so hot
And winter is so cold
On the F train to the South Slope
Most people are okay in their own way
It's a nice place
But it's a long way

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
It wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own

Carve out a space
Just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

She says, 'Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong'
Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong

She says, 'Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong'
Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
It wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
A place of her own
A place of her own

Carve a space just enough to breathe
For the longs nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own
