She wears a ring from Italy
She got a hat from Mexico
A bracelet from Australia
And many friends in Peru
She got a million pictures made
From all around the world
Posted on her profile
Of an ordinary girl
She said she has seen the world
From below and from above
But she's still a callow girl
'Cause you've got to watch things long enough
To understand
She lies awake in bed at night
In fact she never arrived
Her mind and her heart got torn apart
She wasn't made for this life
Every day feels like a memory to her
When nothing feels real
Lost in a dead end, the poor homesick
Will she ever be healed
She said she has seen the world
From below and from above
But she's still a callow girl
'Cause you've got to watch things long enough
To understand
She found a lonely spot
Somewhere near to Rome
Counting stars but she feels like being on mars
In fact she wishes to phone home
It will take some time to watch things grow slowly
And understand the act of god
Even one day in your garden will let you find
As much as in one restless year abroad
