"Poor Little Allison"

Poor little Allison standing in the night wind

Laughing out loud turning her face to the summer rain

Poor little Allison never had much going

Hard to forget, always in step with the world she's in

Never knowing, never feeling, showing so much pride

Never saying what she's thinking or feeling deep inside

Poor little Allison, dreaming of the right one

Laughing out loud, lost in a crowd of fair weather friends

Never knowing, never feeling, showing so much pride

Never saying what she's thinking or feeling deep inside

Poor little Allison, standing in the night wind

Wishing out loud, turning her face to the summer rain

Hard to forget, always in step with the world she's in
