Testo Painted Ladies Sandy Denny
Itâs a grey, grey morning, the rain it do fall
Iâm feeling hungry and low
My bedâs so empty, how I wish I could call
On the painted ladies I know
When youâve got no credit, donât hold no sway
With the painted ladies I know
Itâs a ``thank you for nothing, weâll see you somedayââ
The painted ladies I know
Leave at home what you value enough
And laugh all your senses away
When you want to love everyone, how can you love
The painted ladies all say
Those film stars and beauties will please you tonight
If you go to bed with a book
But they canât hold a candle to something that trembles
If you need to do more than look
They come from rich fathers and twinkle their eyes
And youâre begging them please not to go
When youâre starved for some loving, they can make you feel special
The painted ladies I know
If youâre seeking fortune, if youâre seeking fame
And youâre looking yourself in the eye
And God help the children, playing their game
The end of the game is goodbye
They pass through your vision like thoughts in a dream
Your good times are slipping away
Itâs time to move on or go down with the ship
The painted ladies all say
