The Ballad of Lucy Jordan
|
|
|
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
|
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
|
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
|
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.
|
|
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she´d never ride
|
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
|
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
|
Little nursery rhymes she´d memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
|
|
Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school,
|
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
|
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
|
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.
|
|
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she´d never ride
|
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
|
So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
|
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
|
|
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
|
the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
|
bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
|
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.
|
|
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
|
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair...
