The morning sun touched lightly on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom, [B] in a white suburban town
[E] As she lay there, near the covers, [A] dreaming of a thousand [E] lovers
Till [B] the world turned to orange and the room went [E] spinning round
[A] At the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with a warm wind in her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there [E] softly singing
[B] Reading her three rhymes she'd memorized [A] in her daddy's easy [E] chair
Her husband is off to work, [A] and the kids are off to [E] school
And there are oh so many ways [B] for her to spend the day
She [E] could clean the house for hours, [A] or rearrange [E] the flowers
[B] Or run naked through the shady streets, screaming all the [E] way
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with a warm wind in her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there softly [E] singing
[B] Reading her three rhymes she'd memorized [A] in her daddy's easy [E] chair
The evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter broke [B] aloud
And [E] she brought a curtain to the man, [A] a rich and awful [E] purse he said
[B] And he led her down to the long white car that raced past the [E] crowd
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she knew she'd come forever
As she rode along through Paris with a warm wind in her [B] hair
[B]
In a white suburban bedroom, [B] in a white suburban town
[E] As she lay there, near the covers, [A] dreaming of a thousand [E] lovers
Till [B] the world turned to orange and the room went [E] spinning round
[A] At the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with a warm wind in her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there [E] softly singing
[B] Reading her three rhymes she'd memorized [A] in her daddy's easy [E] chair
Her husband is off to work, [A] and the kids are off to [E] school
And there are oh so many ways [B] for her to spend the day
