Lady With The Braid Songtext
would you care to stay till sunrise

it's completely your decision

it's just that going home is such a ride

going home is such a ride

going home is such a ride
going home is such a low and lonely ride



would you hang your denim jacket

near the poster by picasso

do you sleep on the left side or the right

would you mind if i leave on the light

would you mind if it isn't too bright

now i need the window open

so if you happen to get chilly

there's this coverlet my cousin hand crocheted
do you mind if the edges are frayed

would you like to unfasten my braid



shall i make you in the morning

as cup of instant coffee

i will sweeten it with honey and with cream

when you sleep

do you have dreams?

you can read the early paper

and i can watch you while you shave

oh god the mirror's cracked

when you leave

will you come back?

you don't have to answer that at all

the bathroom door is just across the hall

you'll find an extra towel on the rack

on the paisley patterned papered wall

there's a comb on the shelf

i papered that wall myself

that wall

myself



would you care to stay till sunrise

it's completely your decision

it's just the night cuts through me like a knife

would you care to stay awhile and save my life?

would you care to stay awhile and save my life?

i don't know what made me say that

i've got this funny sense of humor

you know i could not be downhearted it i tried

it's just that going home is such a ride

going home is such a ride

going home is such a ride

isn't going home is such a low and lonely ride?
