Ian Bruce - The Ladies Left Behind

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “THE LADIES LEFT BEHIND (Ian M. Bruce) “Where are all the gentlemen?“ The question crossed my mind. For here we have their widows, The ladies left behind. They’ve all come to the party, To sit down in a row Of sad eyes saying “Nowhere else to go“. CHORUS The ladies don’t take to the floor. The ladies don’t dance any more. “Is there still ambition?“ The question crossed my mind. “Did they grow too old to dream?“ The ladies left behind. “Is there still steel will frailty denies? Have they yielded to time As it ever faster flies?“ CHORUS “And who will be waiting?“ The question crossed my mind. “Who will kiss the tears from Will their loved ones greet them At some great golden gate? Will Peter hear them shout “Hey, this was worth the wait?“ CHORUS Many years have passed Since these questions crossed my mind, And we’ve become the ones That the ladies left behind. Were their expectations realised Upon that final call? For all those little ladies Was there anything at all? CHORUS Maybe they met gentlemen. Are they somewhere dancing again? from Free Agent, released June 1, 1994“
