Addey
Addey's a cat, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out
But she don't know what out means
Ah, Addey, don't you be so afraid,
It's not as bad as it seems
She walks cross the floor, toward the door,
To stairs, to the street
She calls up a cab for downtown
There's a man she must meet
Ah, the thought that she has to go through
Makes her cry to be free
Oh Addey, wipe those tears form your eyes
You wouldn't want him to see
She puts on your face with a smile
As she walks through the door
She thinks of her folks, and her home
And what she came there for
Ah, she tells the man that after this time
She won't be back for more
But he says ; Huh, Addey don't you be a fool
You've said the same thing, time and time before
She runs down the street,
In the heat, down past Nowhere café
She drops to her knees neath a tree
But she don't know how to pray
Oh Addey, there's not life in that rig
Why don't you pack it away
Trust in God for a new kind of life
Honey, He won't lead you astray
Addey's a cat, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out
But she don't know what out means
Ah, Addey, don't you be so afraid,
It's not as bad as it seems
Addey
Addey es una gata, es una tonta, es una estrella, es una reina
Vive en una trampa en la tercera, nunca escuchada, nunca vista
Está desesperada por encontrar una salida
Pero no sabe qué significa salir
Ah, Addey, no tengas tanto miedo,
No es tan malo como parece
Cruza el piso, hacia la puerta,
Hacia las escaleras, hacia la calle
Llama a un taxi para el centro
Hay un hombre que debe ver
Ah, el pensamiento de tener que pasar por esto
La hace llorar por ser libre
Oh Addey, limpia esas lágrimas de tus ojos
No querrías que él te viera
Se pone una cara con una sonrisa
Mientras camina hacia la puerta
Piensa en su gente, y su hogar
Y por qué vino allí
Ah, le dice al hombre que después de esta vez
No volverá por más
Pero él dice; Eh, Addey no seas tonta
Has dicho lo mismo, una y otra vez
Corre por la calle,
En el calor, más allá del café de la Nada
Se arrodilla bajo un árbol
Pero no sabe cómo rezar
Oh Addey, no hay vida en ese lío
¿Por qué no lo guardas?
Confía en Dios para una nueva vida
Cariño, Él no te llevará por mal camino
Addey es una gata, es una tonta, es una estrella, es una reina
Vive en una trampa en la tercera, nunca escuchada, nunca vista
Está desesperada por encontrar una salida
Pero no sabe qué significa salir
Ah, Addey, no tengas tanto miedo,
No es tan malo como parece
