《Edith Wharton’s Figurines》歌词

[00:00:00] Edith Wharton's Figurines - Suzanne Vega

[00:00:02] Edith wharton's lovely figurines

[00:00:06] Still speak to me today

[00:00:09] From their mantlepiece in time

[00:00:12] Where they wrestle and they play

[00:00:15] With passions and with prudences

[00:00:18] Finances and fears

[00:00:20] Her face and what it's worth to her

[00:00:26] In the passing of the years

[00:00:33] See the portrait come to life

[00:00:36] See the vanity behind

[00:00:44] Cause in the struggle for survival

[00:00:48] Love is never blind

[00:00:54] Now olivia lies under anasthesia

[00:00:59] Her wit and wonder snuffed

[00:01:01] In a routine operation

[00:01:04] Her own beauty not enough

[00:01:07] Her passions and her prudences

[00:01:10] Finances and fears

[00:01:12] Her face what it was worth to her

[00:01:18] In the passing of the years

[00:01:23] See the portrait come to life

[00:01:26] See the vanity behind

[00:01:34] Cause in the struggle for survival

[00:01:37] Love is never blind

[00:01:44] Edith whartons lovely figurines

[00:01:48] Still speak to me today

[00:01:51] From their mantlepiece in time

[00:01:54] Where they wrestle and they play

[00:01:56] We lie under anesthesia

[00:01:59] Our wit and wonder snuffed

[00:02:02] In our routine operations

[00:02:08] Our own beauty not enough
