Out of Sight, Out of Mind

from SHE by Darryl Gregory

/

about

A story of an actress that makes it big in L.A. only to secretly yearn for the days when she lived in a walk-up with her boyfriend in NYC.

lyrics

She's not in love anymore
She doesn't see those New York lights
Quite like she used to
Now she runs with the lions
Out in L.A.
She got a house on Mulholland
Living with some movie-boy
They spend their days by the pool
She seduced by the scene

And she ain't been the same
Since she left New York City
Says it takes too long
To get anywhere in this town
But the sunsets are nice
It only snows in the mountains
And New York's lifetime away
Out of sight out of mind

She takes her weekends in Vegas
Losing money at Mahjong
She sips Martini's real slow
Looking hip
In her orange Silhouettes
She gets calls on her cell phone
Peeking down at the numbers
She decides not to pick it up
She wants to float in between

And she thinks a lot
About New York City
Everything she had
And what she left behind
And she calls his name out loud
Looking for his face in the crowd
But she knows she'll never g back
So pull the curtain and fade to black
And she shoves it all in her secret little drawer way back past her cute little high school things
Out of sight out of mind

She won't write songs anymore
She can't find the rhythms
That flow from her heart to her soul
That connections all burned out
She lives the Hollywood dream
Getting paid for being beautiful
And knowing all the right names
But she's still just a Jersey Girl

And she remember that time
Back in New York City
The place that they shared on Leonard Street
And she calls his name out loud
Looking for his face in the crowd
But she knows she'll never go back
So pull the curtain and fade to black
And she folds it up and puts it in a book she'll never read again
Out of sight out of mind
She's not in love anymore

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
