Amber Hayes Somewhere Out West Lyrics

She stands alone on the school playground
In red role, present a suede French dress
Full of questions as the sun goes down
Somewhere out west

She keeps a stack of letters in a perfume case
Postmarked no return address
Words of love from a far out place
Somewhere out west

Far from these pinewood hills
These closed up mines
These roomer mills and judging eyes
Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies
Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

She’s only heard his name in the soft hushed tones
What he did she can only guess
Why would daddy have to make his home
Somewhere out west?

When she brings him up they tell her “hush hush Holly”
Believe this honey, it’s for the best But little Mike still runs wild
Somewhere out west

Far from these pinewood hills
These closed up mines
These roomer mills and judging eyes
Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies
Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

Someday she’ll find the answers to her questions
That part of her that’s missing
That’s missing her too

Far from these pinewood hills
These closed up mines
These roomer mills and judging eyes
Out where the ocean waves meet the open skies
Where lost love wakes like a warm sunrise

She stands alone on the school playground
In red role, present a suede French dress
