The Gallery |
| When I first saw your gallery |
| I liked the ones of ladies |
| Then you began to hang up me |
| You studied to portray me |
| In ice and greens |
| And old blue jeans |
| And naked in the roses |
| Then you got into funny scenes |
| That all your work discloses |
| «Lady, don’t love me now I am dead |
| I am a saint, turn down your bed |
| I have no heart,» that’s what you said |
| You said, «I can be cruel |
| But let me be gentle with you» |
| Somewhere in a magazine |
| I found a page about you |
| I see that now it’s Josephine |
| Who cannot be without you |
| I keep your house in fit repair |
| I dust the portraits daily |
| Your mail comes here from everywhere |
| The writing looks like ladies' |
| «Lady, please love me now, I am dead |
| I am a saint, turn down your bed |
| I have no heart,» that’s what you said |
| You said, «I can be cruel |
| But let me be gentle with you» |
| I gave you all my pretty years |
| Then we began to weather |
| And I was left to winter here |
| While you went west for pleasure |
| And now you’re flying back this way |
| Like some lost homing pigeon |
| They’ve monitored your brain, you say |
| And changed you with religion |
| «Lady, please love me now I was dead |
| I am no saint, turn down your bed |
| Lady, have you no heart,» that’s what you said |
| Well, I can be cruel |
| But let me be gentle with you |
| When I first saw your gallery |
| I liked the ones of ladies |
| But now their faces follow me |
| And all their eyes look shady |
