When I was young, I knew a girl
Who wouldn't love god as a test
Or gamble with her happiness

And so led astray

So she did turn

Her father would say,
'You're only a guest of the master'


But passion was her sunday best
And she fell away
She fell away

She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted

With clouds of her own
Na na na na


When she grew up, she fell in love
She thought it was all that she wanted
She knew how it felt to be haunted

And he ran away

Picked herself up

And said through her tears
Don't waste anymore of your time
You'll spend it all standing in line

They'll turn you away

She fell away

She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted

With clouds of her own
Na na na na


Oh but superstition
And your heart's permission
'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough

To make it alone

Then when she died

She didn't ask god
To take her back into his graces
She'd taken on to many shapes

And too many were strange

And as they lay her in to the ground

Her spirits, they all flew all away
The sun shone so bright on that day
You thought it was spring


She fell away
She fell away

She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own

Na na na na
