Painted Desert Serenade
© by Joshua Kaddison
- He said:
- I want to paint you naked on a big brass bed,
- With bright orange poppies all around your head.
- And she said:
- Crazy old man, I'm not young anymore.
- Well that's all right, he whispered, I've never painted before.
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- You've got me talking to the moon,
- You've got me walking in the rain.
- Do you love me, do you love me, Lady Jane?
- I want to read your tea leaves by candlelight,
- On a bright, red velvet sofa I want to be with you all night.
- I want to tickle your feet with a peacock plume.
- Could you talk a little softer, there's other people in the room.
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- You've got me talking to the moon,
- You've got me walking in the rain.
- Do you love me, do you love me, Lady Jane?
- And she said:
- My children brought me here and told me they'd call.
- But you know kids these days, that's just the way of it all.
- And he said:
- That makes us both footloose and fancy free.
- So Jane, do you want to come see the Painted Desert with me?
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- Do you love me, Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
- You've got me talking to the moon,
- You've got me walking in the rain.
- Do you love me, do you love me, Lady Jane?
- Do you love me like I love you, Lady Jane?
