Discoveries - Shawn Phillips

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

With all her claws and laws, 'bout how to live in this world

She wants it open and she wants to keep it on the line

To clear the skies of lies, to bear the fruit on the vine

Yet, she stares out the window at nothing particular

What’s in her mind?

Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her

To let her climb

Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending

Her time

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

With all her smiles and wiles, she disappears in a whirl

Where does she go when she’s alone

And she’s desirous of a real good time

And it’s so real to feel, but she may never be mine

Cause she stares out the window at nothing particular

What’s in her mind?

Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her

To let her climb

Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending

Her time

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

While she is free to be, I’d like her safe and unfurled

She walks the pathways of a primal set of rules

That keep us all in a bind

But in the heart of my art

She will always be mine

But she stares out the window at nothing particular

What’s in her mind?

Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her

To let her climb

Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending

Her time

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
