John Prine - Donald & Lydia Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Small town, bright lights, saturday night,
  • Pinballs and pool halls flashing their lights.
  • Making change behind the 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.
  • Bunk beds, shaved heads, saturday night,
  • A warehouse of strangers with sixty watt lights.
  • Staring through the ceiling, just wanting to be
  • Lay one of too many, a young pfc:
  • (spoken:)
  • Donald
  • There were spaces between donald and whatever 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 barracks 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
  • The 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 finished there was nothing to say,
  • cause mostly they made love from ten miles away.
  • Repeat chorus:

    • Report error in lyric
