Donald And Lydia

John Prine

Song : Donald And Lydia (Mod.not to slow 3/4 timing) Small town bright lights Saturday night, Pin balls and pool halls flashing their lights Making change behind a counter in a penny arcade, Sat the fat girl daughter of Virginia and Ray (spoken) Lydia Lydia hid her thoughts like a cat, behind her small eyes sunk deep in her fat She read romance magazines up in her room And felt just like Sunday on Saturday afternoon (Chorus) But dreaming just comes natural like the first breath from a baby Like sunshine feeding daisies, Like the love hidden deep in your heart Bunkbeds shaved heads Saturday night A ware house of strangers with sixty watt lights Staring though the ceiling just wanting to be, lay a one of to many a young PFC (spoken) Donald There were spaces between Donald and what ever he said Strangers had forced him to live in his head He envisioned the details of romantic scenes after midnight in the stillness of the barrack's latrine (repeat chorus) Hot love, cold love, no love at all, a portrait of guilt is hung on the wall Nothing is wrong, nothing is right, Donald and Lydia made love that night (spoken) Love They made love in the mountains , they made love in the streams They made love in the valleys , they made love in their dreams But when they were fininshed , there was nothing to say 'Cause mostly they made love from ten miles away (repeat chorus)
