jonathan key - Little story
lyrics
A little story.

I light the candell to illuminate the room
Im standing in front of a painting of a man
That I never knew.

My great great grandfather so I was told
Living in this castle round 1880 and now
It is sold to a lady a dutches of some kind
Who got friendly with my father and my
Mother did mind but what could she do.

Nothing at all filed for divorce
Took all the money and showed no remorse
When he remarried she got this card to
A ball in the fall, she thought it was fun
And yet how cruel was that!

She went anyway couldnt stay home
And wait for the best was yet to come
At the party a gentlemen asked her to dance
All though she was in realy great pain
Nothing to lose nothing to gain

He looked in her eyes lips ready to meet
She said; its killing me, he said; what
Not you, my shoes my poor feet.
He wanted to kiss ready to mate all that she wanted
Was to dance not to date

The one she had met had realy bad breath.
The music went slow
Like ten camels died a decade ago
Calling her darling? She wasnt a ho

So she went home to sit by the fire
If she wanted a man there are plenty for hire
She was finaly free
A man in her life would only mean trouble
She just had to wistle they were there on the double
So she took it easy.

I light the candell to illuminate the room
Im standing in front of a painting of a man
That I never knew.
My great great grandfather so I was told
Living in this castle round 1880 and now
It is sold.
