When they sent you to Chicago you had high hopes
Thought your dad could pull it together
Pull it together for once
But all the helium in the world
couldn't keep your hopes high
He had problems of his own
He let your dreams die

Julia, don't wear that hurt outside
Everybody sees a fawn with the headlights in her eyes
Julia, the book isn't written yet
The pages are bare
All your dreams are still in there

They sent you back to Boston with your suitcase
Back to mama and her new boyfriend
Another new boyfriend, they got a new place
And another year goes by
She found problems of her own
And she let your dreams die

Julia, don't wear that shirt outside
Everybody sees a fawn with the headlights in her eyes
Julia, the book isn't written yet (Julia)
The pages are bare

Julia, Julia, Julia

Julia, don't wear that hurt outside
Everybody sees a fawn with the headlights in her eyes
Julia, don't wear that shirt outside
Don't you know they see a fawn
with the headlights in her eyes?
Julia, your book isn't finished yet (Julia)
The pages are bare
The pages are bare
The pages are bare
All your dreams are still in there

When they sent you to Chicago you had high hopes
