Lena Is A White Table Lyrics

first you go up the hill

(don't forget to sat the church)

the church why? i don't know...

(in case they miss the turn)

let me do the talking

(you make mistakes sometimes)

well so do you too

never let me talk

-----

yaahhh - drink your beer

this is no suprise

they're always arguing, they're from down in...

(darts my friend?)

and when you reach the top

out on the scraggy backs just there

say - you must be new

a movie camera! (ooohh!)

WELL - I wouldn't GO

(darts?) don't! (over his shoulder as he goes to play darts)

WHO IS THAT WITH YOU?

(darts my friend?)

     how does she hang the clothes

     climb up on herself?

there's a house(white)

a back porch(grey)

just a table there

(don't forget the laundry line)

yes - nobody knows how far it goes(many men have died)

BALONEY/PHOOEY

past the fishing banks

probably past the edge of the earth maybe

OH COME ON

     and sometimes there is a chair the table legs they never

     move waiting and pressing and the clothesline stop don't move

               CHORUS:

           well, maybe she should go to school

           no,no...she's a table

           lena's a white table

and in the afternoon

and in the autumn air

the porch is bare and still

there is a waiting there

and flint the laundry line

apples rolling down the hill

     WINDOW:

     i hope that she's here

     what if she's not here

     i don't think she's here

     i hope she's not here

     don't you think she's here

     i don't think she's here

and sometimes there is a chair the table legs they never

move waiting and pressing and the clothesline stop don't move

     CHORUS:

     well, maybe she should go to school

     no,no...she's a table

     lena's a white table

     well,maybe she should learn to pray

     no,no...she's a table

     lena's a white table

     we saw her waiting by the line

     which line? the laundry line

     waiting for the clothes to dry

     what if she freezes in mid-air?

     no no no no no...
