Lena Is A White Table
Lyricist:Jane Siberry
First you go up the hill (Don't forget to say the church) The church why? I don't think (In case they miss the turn)
Let me do the talking (You make mistakes sometimes) Well, so do you too (Never let me talk) Yeah, drink your beer
This is no surprise They're always arguing They're from down in (Darts my friend)
And when you reach the top Out on the scraggy backs just there Say, you must be new, a movie camera (Ooh)
Well, I wouldn't go (Darts?) Don't (Over his shoulder, as he goes to play darts) Who is that with you? (Darts my friend) How does she hang the clothes climb up on herself?
There's a house (White) A back porch (Grey) Just a table there (Don't forget the laundry line)
Yes, nobody knows how far it goes (Many men have died) Baloney, phooey, past the fishing banks Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Probably past the edge of the earth maybe Oh, come on
And sometimes there is a chair The table legs they never Move waiting and pressing And the clothesline stop don't move
Well, maybe she should go to school No, no, she's a table Lena's a white table
And in the afternoon, and in the autumn air The porch is bare and still there is a waiting there And flint the laundry line, apples rolling down the hill
I hope that she's here, what if she's not here? I don't think she's here, I hope she's not here Don't you think she's here, I don't think she's here
And sometimes there is a chair The table legs they never move Waiting and pressing, And the clothesline stop don't move
Well, maybe she should go to school No, no, she's a table Lena's a white table
Well, maybe she should learn to pray No, no, she's a table Lena's a white table
We saw her waiting by the line Which line? The laundry line Waiting for the clothes to dry What if she freezes in mid-air? No, no, no, no, no
