The Ballad of Lucy Jordan

Subject: ballad_of_lucy_jordan.pro of Dr_Hook Date: Mon, 13 Nov 95 9:53:46 MET # From: Wolf Krueger # E 1) The morning sun touched lightly on A E the eyes of Lucy Jordan in a white suburban bedroom B in a white suburban town E As she lay there 'neith the colors A E dreaming of a thousand lovers B 'till the world turned to orange E and the room went spinning round A At the age of thirty seven E she realized - she'd never ride - through Paris - in a sportscar - B A B with the warm wind in her hair _____ E And she let the phone keep ringing A E as she sat there softly singing B pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized A E in her daddy's easy chair 2) Her husband, he was off to work and her kids were off to school and there were oh so many ways for her to spend the day She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way... 3) The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan on the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud And she bowed in courtesy to the man who reached and offered her his hand and 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 they rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair ...with the wind in her hair... ---------------- THE END -------------------------------------- "So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they are already met?" -- Hobbes "Right.
