What appears to be a person lacking every expectation
Couldn't be any further from the truth
A steely quiet all-consuming determination
She is settled, she is resolute
In this city she is a truly rare find
Deferring to no one yet unapologetically kind
Her pure colours cannot fade
Something so vital can't get washed away
She's got to relearn all she knows
My baby she suffers so
The morning light floods into every corner of the room
Only once you let the curtains there be drawn
Over the last year she's learnt so much about herself
And oh so much more about us all
In this city she is a truly rare find
Deferring to no one yet unapologetically kind
Her pure colours cannot fade
Something so vital can't get washed away
She's got to relearn all she knows
My baby she suffers so
Life is a fight and she's up against the ropes
Oh my baby she suffers so
Look a turtle dove is singing from the roof top
Waiting for the right answer to come
And as it spreads its wings to fly away
As it spreads its wings to fly away
A call returns to make it stay
A call returns to make it stay
In this city she is a truly rare find
Deferring to no one yet unapologetically kind
Her pure colours cannot fade
Something so vital can't get washed away
She's got to relearn all she knows
My baby she suffers so
She's got to relearn all she knows
My baby she suffers so
