The Lady With The Braid

Dory Previn

Intro (Played before vocals start) Verse Would you care to stay till sunrise It's completely your decision It's just that going home is such a ride (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 (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 (hand-crocheted) Do you mind if the edges are frayed Would you like to unfasten my braid Bridge Shall I make you in the morning A cup of homemade 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 Verse Would you care to stay till sunrise It's completely your decision It's just the night cuts through me like a knife (like a knife) Would you care to stay awhile and save my life? Would you care to stay awhile and save my life? Bridge/Outro I don't know what made me say that I've got this funny sense of humor You know I could not be downhearted if I tried (if 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 a low and lonely ride? Isn't going home a low and lonely ride? Isn't going home a low and lonely ride? Outro Riff (On the last "ride" a little riff plays, roughly in this timing for chords)
