Songtext
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 walkin' now, she knows that he'd be proud
She wakes up early in the mornin' for the F train
And she's makin' her way and she's makin' 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 nothin', wasn't askin' 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's so cold
On the F train to the South Slope
And most people are okay in their own way
It's a nice way, but it's a long way
He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothin' and wasn't askin' 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
A 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 nothin' and wasn't askin' for gold
Just a place of her own
Place of her own
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
A place of her own
