Caroline Herring - Stone Cold World Lyrics

I'm a selfish girl

In a selfish world

Each town has her selfish ways

And each girl has her selfish days

Especially me

Longing to be free

From all the old complaining crew

And all the new ones moaning, too

Then there was you

Smiling when I couldn't smile

Drawing me to tears

Feeling out these aches and pains

Because nothing here comes easy

In this stone cold world

For a selfish girl



You're a pioneer

Headed for Newfoundland

Each land has his newfound joys

And pioneers must be big boys

Especially you

Longing to be true

To what your people came here to do

And who your mama said you could be

Then there was me

Crying when I wasn't sad

Slouching in my shoes

Damning expectations

Because nothing here comes easy

In this stone cold world

For a selfish girl

I saw the tip of an iceberg explode

But I'm no tourist in this deep blue sea

Off that hard rock shore

In this stone cold world

For a selfish girl
