The Girl From Queens

Verse 1

Brooklyn

Sixty-six keys

I was sitting at the bench

My fingers found the way

Sweater

Blue jeans

Small apartment on the park

I wrote the tunes

I sang the truth

The radio played

And played

And played

Chorus

Hello I am Carole

Just a girl from Queens

Hello I am Carole

Living out the dreams

The tapestry is woven

The colors never fade

This is the life I made

This is the life I made

Verse 2

Natural woman

Will you love me tomorrow

Gerry held the pen

I felt the rhythm in my chest

Wild

Open

Free

Telling secrets to the street

Piano hammers hitting felt

Hard work

Soft heart

Deep soul

A winter wind outside the glass

But I am warm

Right here

Chorus

Hello I am Carole

Just a girl from Queens

Hello I am Carole

Living out the dreams

The tapestry is woven

The colors never fade

This is the life I made

This is the life I made

Bridge

Far away

So far away

I found my own voice

I found my own name

In the hills

In the trees

Under the sun

Under the sky

Under the stars

I finally belong

Chorus

Hello I am Carole

Just a girl from Queens

Hello I am Carole

Living out the dreams

The tapestry is woven

The colors never fade

This is the life I made

This is the life I made

Outro

Just a song

Just a friend

Coming home

Coming home

Coming home
