The Ballad Of Ridge St. - Brenda Kahn
    There was a girl  with velvet eyes

    had a pocket full of wishes and a pocket full of lies
    she crossed a path with a crooked smile
    and just kept going for a thousand miles

    She walked so far she almost fell off
    she once fell down and she once had a cough
    talked to a guy with a big radio
    and a man on the corner playing dominoes
    no one down there had fancy clothes
    it was a sad and lonely time

    Build me a house by the waterside
    take me to Jordan in the summertime
    I won't feel lost in your arms
    I will be ever by your side

    Fate, the fickle bastard said
    you won't go alone every night to bed
    he sent her a lover for a pile of tears
    she told him all her deepest darkest fears

    Now all the flags in this part of town were black
    people sewed them into shirts and old felt hats
    the girl and her lover bought a sailing ship
    took off their clothes and tied them to the mast
    sailed away and they never came back

    Build me a house by the waterside
    take me to Jordan in the summertime
    I won't feel lost in your arms
    Ithe people wondered by and by
    about the girl who'd been struck
    by the evil eye

    For she felt no shame she lived as she pleased
    because love is a strange and sweet disease

    Build me a house by the waterside
    take me to Jordan in the summertime
    I won't feel lost in your arms
    I will be ever by your side
