Suzanne Vega - Daniella Lyrics
Daniella, she sits by the tree in the playgroundSometimes we go there and the children all playBut no one can tell me just where is daniellaWhen she looks in the distance that wayDaniella, your hair is growing wild like a jungleLike a garden of ivy thats been blown by the windIn the morning we brush it and tie it with a ribbonAnd in the evening it has flown loose againIn the afternoon when the day seems foreverAnd the night feels like never then she will sighBut no one can tell me just where is daniellaWhen her thoughts wander off to the skyIlanas her friend, she runs fast like a squirrelShe has big brown eyes and sometimes she criesBut she stops very soon and they both play togetherMaking castles and strawberry piesAnd sometimes daniella believes shes a sparrowShe sits by the window and eats sunflower seedsShe watches the rain and the birds on the rooftopsOften I wonder just what she seesIn the afternoon when the day seems foreverAnd the night feels like never then she will sighOh no one can tell me just where is daniellaWhen her thoughts wander off to the sky(1976)
