lyrics

she was born after the war
everyone said she would go far
went to college with high scores
head full of dreams and some more
in the city, she met him one night
out dancing in the moonlight
introductions then pretend
to forget the spark down her spine

oh linda, you wasted your life
oh linda, it's such a surprise
oh linda, how i wish you didn't make that sacrifice

in a year, she was pregnant with a child
dropping out and getting unwise
giving birth in the ward
hopes eclipsed by the cries
then another child to come
she's swollen like the moon and he's still handsome

oh linda, you wasted your life
oh linda, it's such a surprise
oh linda, how i wish you didn't make that sacrifice

tides rising around her castle of fear
her head floating over a circle of tears
friends call her a cautionary tale
how beauty and potential can ultimately fail
how no one rescues anyone in this world
especially if you're beautiful girl

oh linda, you wasted your life
oh linda, it's such a surprise
oh linda, how i wish you didn't make that sacrifice
