Stronger Than You (for Amy)

A Wednesday's child is full of woe Such a silly rhyme In your case I don't know A brand new sound Your voice one of a kind Admired all around But love can be unkind I see you in your room Singing alone with Dinah Sweet sixteen but such a gloom A shadow clinging to your side You became a star Living in a whirl And you got scarred You were just a young girl Everyone adored you, did they really care Looking in your eyes, see the pain and despair They were stronger, stronger than you They were stronger, stronger than you They were stronger, stronger than you Stronger than you Stronger than you Stronger than you Life absorbed you, body and soul We watched you spinning Out of control Daddy's a little girl Your men were all the same They had the upper hand Your life a losing game While others went on thinking You spent those years drinking Too scared of sobriety Or facing your anxiety They were stronger, stronger than you They were stronger, stronger than you They were stronger, stronger than you Stronger than you They were stronger than you Stronger than you Stronger than you Stronger than you
