They said she came from Portugal, others said from Spain Or Paris, France where she used to dance, in a houseboat on the Seine She lived a while in Amsterdam, someone said someplace else I know she never came from any of those places, though they claim I know she came from Flatrock, on a Sunday, in the rain She had a hundred dollars that she'd saved from splitting fish She'd had enough of evenings on the wharf She knew a girl from Chance Cove and they could share the rent And go out at night and maybe have some fun So she took a job at a joint downtown Picking up tips and laying it down Until one day she left it all behind I know she wasn't meant for that crazy downtown scene I know she came from Flatrock, on a Sunday, in the rain She hopped a cab on Adelaide, the airport fare was all she paid Gotta get a ticket going somewhere Mastercard got quite a shock, she was gone before they could take stock Off into the wild blue yonder She came back once when her momma died She just had to be there by her side And afterwards she asked me for a ride She bought some beer and I gave her flowers We sang away her saddest hours Morning caught us drinking coffee out at YYT They called her flight and she was gone Only her perfume lingered on Off into the wild blue yonder They said she came from Portugal, others said from Spain Or Paris, France where she used to dance, in a houseboat on the Seine She lived a while in Amsterdam, someone said someplace else I know she never came from any of those places, though they claim I know she came from Flatrock, on a Sunday, in the rain
