Lyrics Big Louise - Scott Walker

Big Louise

She stands all alone
You can hear her hum softly
From her fire escape in the sky
She fills the bags 'neath her eyes
With the moonbeams
And cries 'cause the world’s passed her by
Didn’t time sound sweet yesterday?
In a world filled with friends
You lose your way
She’s a haunted house
And her windows are broken
And the sad young man’s gone away
Her bathrobe’s torn
And tears smudge her lipstick
And the neighbors just whisper all day
Didn’t time sounds sweet yesterday?
In a world filled with friends
You lose your way
