Jilly Went To London

Jilly went to London
To make her final stand
Hunger in her stomach
Ticket in her hand

Don’t go they told her
You’ll never make it there
There are clouds in the closets
Demons in the air

So she’s been around the block a few times
But she’s always wanting more
Never safe nor sorry
But she always knows the score

She met some friends there
They taught her what was new
Life’s what you have left
When your dreams are through

Singing at the folk clubs
Always dressed in black
Looking for the future
Mistakes kept at the back

I’d like to tell you
She’s doing fine
Sings about a hard life
But she won’t stop trying

So she’s been around the block a few times
But she’s always wanting more
Never safe nor sorry
But she always knows the score
