Big River - Girl With Nails Painted Black

I knew a girl with nails painted black
I used to meet her in a coffee break
She was pretty, she loved being courted
Took a coffee and she showed me
When she was young, her father used to drinking
And her mother was busy surviving
So she became hard...hard like a stone..with nails painted black
So she became hard...hard like a stone..with nails painted black

So she learned to hide, even from herself
And started looking for friends
Where they're not friends. She started to beg for love
From who he had no love
She knew that I knew her secret
That her dark side always would rob her
So she once told me:
"I'm not afraid to suffering, I'm afraid to be happy"
So she once told me:
"I'm not afraid to suffering, I'm afraid to be happy"

I never met her again, I don't know what she's saying
She was a real bitch but I never hated her
She was like thousand shadows in one gathered
Sometimes I like to think that anywhere you are
Found a little bit of peace in your heart
That really..really pretty girl
With nails painted black
That really..really pretty girl
With nails painted black
Really..really pretty girl
With nails painted black
