lyrics

Wine glass, decanter, oak table,
Light filtering down on the sill,
Bright burnishing gleam of a candle,
How the memories linger still.
Once there were old-fashioned love songs,
Tunes that could tug at your heart,
Words are now almost forgotten,
As the melody drifts apart.
I long for the days when those melodies played,
Couples walked hand in hand through the night,
In the soft golden haze of an emerald glade,
With the sweet sad nostalgia of life.
Seems we forgot all those love songs,
Lost how it feels to be true,
Now I can only remember,
The duplicity of you.

Orphan Jane New York, New York

Orphan Jane is circus tents and gypsies, traditional blues and vaudeville, a dear friend of whom you're just a little afraid.
