Every morning through the crack in her door I catch shadows of her beauty and I turn away And my confused adoration grows with unanswered passions That I can’t turn away
She’s just a girl, just a girl She’s just a girl that stirs my foolish blood now She’s just a girl, she’s just a girl (She’s just a girl) O, a girl, my window to the world
One night as I lay awake I heard voices in my head and she spoke to me I pressed my hands around my face To lock images I feared would slip away
She’s just a girl, just a girl She’s just a girl that stirs my foolish blood now She’s just a girl, she’s just a girl (She’s just a girl) O, a girl, my window to the world, go to Araby
And every day I wait for her there And every day she isn’t there, I walk the streets I walk alone Oceans of sand are everywhere, I said yea
Two years I’ve not seen her But the light she cast upon me still can burn a chill And when your mind is on the loose You can Araby yourself to your greatest thrill
She’s just a girl, just a girl She’s just a girl that stirs my foolish blood now She’s just a girl, o the girl She’s just a girl, and everywhere I go now She’s just a girl, just a girl (She’s -) O, a girl, my window to the world, go to Araby
Gone to Araby I dream, I dream in Araby I live for Araby Close my eyes to Araby
