Lyla Lyrics - The Mayfield Four

Lyla in bloom 

Her innocence and youth stripped away 

Eighteen years old 

But she's lived the life of sixty-eight 

The heartache of a mother gone 

And father she's never known 

So she dreams of a better place 

Scared and alone 

Turning tricks and getting stoned to survive 

Vegas sex queen 

Living in a world that's so obscene in a dead end life 

At the end of every tragic day she says this to herself 

If I can hold on I know 

When I find my wings 

I'll fly away 

Over the mountains 

Over the pain 

And I won't look back 

Cause I've gotta get away from here 

I've gotta get away from here
