Victory Girls

[Verse 1]

Violet rings your bell in the evening

And Nell reads every book on your shelf

Fire [?] rises out of the mountain

To send you to sleep (Your willows to weep)

Your wheels to whirl (Those mothers of pearl)

[Chorus]

Those victory girls

Those victory girls

They count your falling stars and measure your pain

And, in the lonely hour, they make you rain (Ooh)

(Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Eva sleeps on buses to old towns

Walking 'round the crumbling roofs

Hand-to-hand, they wait in the trenches

From Belgium to France (They slowly advance)

The story unfurls (Like ribbon and curls)

[Chorus]

Those victory girls (Those victory girls)

Those victory girls

They count my lucky stars and measure my pain

And, in my loneliest hour, they make it rain (Ooh)

(Ooh)

(Ooh)
