Rupert Holmes - The O'Brien Girl Lyrics
She first showed up on the third of May
And, by all rights, this is not her school.
She lives a couple of towns away.
And it's all pretty strange.
She floats around like a mystery.
But in this smoke, there is one thing clear:
She has gotten to me.
She has gotten to me.
Oh, the O'Brien girl...
When she walks, I see all I would ever need.
What they say she's done is done.
We're born to be.
Her voice is soft when she speaks at all
And no one knows just what did occur...
It's all very strange.
I want to take her to higher ground.
I want to hold her in open fields
And keep her there where the only sound
Is her talking to me.
But they keep talking 'bout her.
Oh, the O'Brien girl,
All I hear is you
You deep inside the night.
And I dream till day you stay
To see it through.
Oh, the O'Brien girl...
When you walk, I see all I would ever need.
What they say you've done is done.
We're born to be.

Rupert Holmes The O'Brien Girl Comments
Wonderful haunting song packed with mystery and emotions.
Always loved it. Took me ages to find it again to play it on here.
Greatly underestimated Rupert Holmes.
I never heard this song
I first heard Rupert Holmes name on the credits for The Strawbs DEEP CUTS album as an organist on a couple of tracks-little knowing his backstory from The Buoys-"Timothy" fame. In the late 70s you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing "The Escape Song(Piña Colada)." His next album contained this song and its title track; "Adventure." Multifaceted musician, playright and author....Well played.
Great melody. Reminds me of Jimmy Webb's writing.
Always loved this song -- and it's not on Spotify! Thanks for posting.
