When I was young, I knew a girl   Who wouldn't love god as a test   Or gamble with her happiness   And so led astray      So she did turn   Her father would say,   'You're only a guest of the master'      But passion was her sunday best   And she fell away   She fell away   She fell away   She fell away from the side of the lord   And she was free to do what she wanted   With clouds of her own   Na na na na      When she grew up, she fell in love   She thought it was all that she wanted   She knew how it felt to be haunted   And he ran away      Picked herself up   And said through her tears   Don't waste anymore of your time   You'll spend it all standing in line   They'll turn you away      She fell away   She fell away   She fell away from the side of the lord   And she was free to do what she wanted   With clouds of her own   Na na na na      Oh but superstition   And your heart's permission   'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough   To make it alone      Then when she died   She didn't ask god   To take her back into his graces   She'd taken on to many shapes   And too many were strange      And as they lay her in to the ground   Her spirits, they all flew all away   The sun shone so bright on that day   You thought it was spring      She fell away   She fell away   She fell away from the side of the lord   And she was free to do what she wanted   With clouds of her own   Na na na na
