lyrics

Lucinda was a girl I'm told
Her hair was black and her heart was cold
Her lips were red and her eyes were dark
She lived in an old amusement park
I've heard folk say in the dead of night
She roams the scaffold neon lights.
Looking for her home

Lucinda was a girl I saw
Her hair was red and her heart was raw
Her nails were black and her eyes were green
She was old at 17
She walked one night in the evening air
To the carousel at the boardwalk fair
She never made it home

Lucinda vanished late one June
On a balmy night and a harvest moon
On her way to meet an older man
Or a college boy in an old Trans-Am
She slammed the door, did not look back
Hurried down the dusty track
She never made it home

Lucinda was a girl I met
In a '55 Blue Flame Corvette
Her eyes were brown and her hair distressed
She told me she was headed west
She gunned the engine to the floor
And disappeared for evermore
She never made it home

Lucinda cast a shadow black
They found her down by the railroad track
On the wonder wheel, on the ghost train ride
In the ebb and flow of the sunset tide
On the carousel, in the old arcade
On the Santa Clara esplanade
She never made it home

Lucinda was a girl I knew.
Her hair was blond and her eyes were blue
Her heart was warm and her smile was wide
They found her on the ghost train ride.
I've heard folk say on a quiet day
You can hear her cries from miles away
Finding her way home
