A Song In Your Name
You’re going on
With boys you don’t know well
You live in your hotel
An eye on me
You wait expectantly
For someone to treat you well
You see all the faces around you
But baby they’re all the same
You paint your panes
The fairy tale refrains
Are swimming in your head
You earn your keep
You’re so eager to sweep
The flowers from your bed
You leave a little lash of the tongue
Baby how could you be so mean to me
I’d sing a song in your name
But it wouldn’t be quite the same
You swing to the serenade
The rapturous grin
Give in to insincerity again
You’re going on
With boys you don’t know well
But we don’t kiss and tell
And secretly
You wait for them to see
A lily in the well
You leave a little lash of the tongue
Baby how could you be so mean to me
I’d sing a song in your name
But it wouldn’t be quite the same
You leave
I know you’re slipping away
With the shade of the day in the dark
So you see
I’d sing a song in your name
But it wouldn’t be quite the same
