Titel: THE BALLAD OF LUCY JORDAN
Interpret: MARIANNE FAITHFULL
<P> : 1975
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The mornin' sun touched lightly on
the eyes of Lucy Jordan,
in her white suburban bedroom,
in her white suburban town.
as she lay there 'neath the covers
dreamin' of a thousand lovers,
'til the world turned to orange
and the room went spinnin' 'round.
At the age of 37
she realized
she'd never ride
through Paris
in a sportscar
with the warm wind in her hair.
and she let the phone keep ringin'
as she sat there softly singin'
pretty nurs'ry rhymes
she'd memorized
in her daddy's easy chair.
Her husband he was off to work
and the 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
screamin' all the way.
At the age of 37,...
The evenin' sun touched gently on
the eyes of Lucy Jordan,
on the roof top
where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud,
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 37
she knew she'd found forever
as they rode along through paris
with the warm wind in her hair.
