The Valentine Pieces
If my lady pleases, at last
This heart of mine
Drips color to the page and shades
of love and rage
A begger's valentine
Sittin' by the window
Lost in my old easy chair
The romance is gone
But the fire lingers on a while
Lookin' out the window
I could be anywhere but I'm here
With my face frozen into a smile
The valentine pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
Anywhere the wind blows
Is still such a long ways alone
The castle will fall
There'll be no one to stand by the throne
The flowers and the candy litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
Sittin' by the window
Watchin' the sun goin' down
Lost in a dream
Life's just what it seems to be
The valentine pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
This heart of mine
Drips color to the page and shades
of love and rage
A begger's valentine
Sittin' by the window
Lost in my old easy chair
The romance is gone
But the fire lingers on a while
Lookin' out the window
I could be anywhere but I'm here
With my face frozen into a smile
The valentine pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
Anywhere the wind blows
Is still such a long ways alone
The castle will fall
There'll be no one to stand by the throne
The flowers and the candy litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
Sittin' by the window
Watchin' the sun goin' down
Lost in a dream
Life's just what it seems to be
The valentine pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
