old maid - inga swenson lyrics
[h.c., spoken]
lizzie
lizzie!
[lizzie]
always being one
never being two
rearrange the furniture
there’s nothing else to do
keep an empty house
watch your brothers wed
dream an empty dream at night
upon an empty bed
old maid
old maid!
growing old alone
lonelier with age
buy a tiny mockingbird
and lock him in a cage
visiting your kin
yearly family tours
mustn’t love the kids too much
they’re never really yours
old maid
old maid!
be kind to your poor aunt lizzie
her nerves arе none too good
she brings you a presеnt when she comes
kiss her like you should
be thoughtful and sweet and proper
until she goes away
she’s been here a week and a half today
when will she ever go?
go where?
go where?
my dress is too tight
my skin is alive all over
it’s turning to night and yet not a sign of rain
i’m all tied up
my clothes seem to be on fire!
they’re tying me up and burning me to the bone!
why won’t it rain?
please let it rain!
oh, god, don’t let me
live and die alone!
