Big rock ballad. It's about the story of a prostitute working in the street. Great guitar and electric piano work. This tune picked #2 in the MP3.com's Alternative cart.
One man band from Rome with a british rock sound. A cult e-band for the Beatles, Oasis, Eric Clapton fans.

Story behind the song
This is the story of a prostitute I used to see in the street driving back home from work.
She used to stand near a broken wall, with a sad face.
One day she disappeared. I don't know why I wonder where she is now...

C.............G...................Bb
I'll never know her name,
.....................F.............Dm7....C
but I keep in mind her smile of pain.
C..................G.............Bb
Watching her every day,
....................F..........Dm
driving back home at night
..Em........A7......D......Bb..F..Dm7/G
I can't forget her sight.
She looks for lonely men,
for a few bucks she will pretend.
Standing by a broken wall,
selling ten secs of love,
.......Em......A7..........D...
but keeping tight her soul.
..........Am7.....................D............................Am7
Empty eyes, short blond hair, heart as cold as ice.
D........Am7................D.......................................Am7..C#7.
Lonely girl, standing there, I guess you once were nice.
F#m........................G#m
Who knows who you are,
C#7....................F#m7
where you come from,
.........................F#m6
but you didn't go far
.....................E
(you didn't go far)
E...................B........................
You must be missing your home,
..........D............................Asus
your brother and your best friend.
......Dm7.................
You now understand
........Dm7/G.......
you weren't alone.

[CHORUS]
One day she was not there,
another girl was in her place.
Maybe she went back home,
or maybe she did something wrong
and somebody hit her face.
[CHORUS]
[FINALE]
Lonely girl...
