I met you on the corner with your lipstick and your 
lace,
Frightened, sad and lonely, I could see it in your 
face.

I asked you what your name was as you leaned against 
the wall
And when you looked into my eyes I know you heard my 
spirit call.

Come away from this restless night,
Come away and walk in the light.
You say it's grey but life is black and white
It's gonna be alright, alright now

Your bruised affection, broken heart, your torn and 
tattered dress
You've had some problems in your life and girl I must 
confess

That I don't know the answers to the questions in your 
head
But I love you little sister, please remember what I've 
said.

Come away and walk in the light.
You say it's grey but life is black and white
It's gonna be alright, alright now

Instead of taking money from lonely men and hanging 
'round outside bars
You could lay down in the long grass and look up at the 
stars

And try to think about the one who hung the galaxies in 
space
He also has the power, girl, to help you find your 
place.

Come away from this restless night,
Come away and walk in the light.
You say it's grey but life is black and white
It's gonna be alright, alright now

It's gonna be alright now, yeah.
It's gonna be alright baby.
You can, you can go home little girl
And stop running 'round the world
'Cause it's gonna be alright baby.
