edith wharton's figurine
Singer:suzanne vega
edith wharton's lovely figurines
from their mantlepiece in time
where they wrestle and they play
with passions and with prudences
her face and what its worth to her
in the passing of the years
see the portrait come to life
cause in the struggle for survival
olivia lies under anasthesia
her wit and wonder snuffed
her own beauty not enough
her passions and her prudences
in the passing of the years
see the portrait come to life
cause in the struggle for survival
edith whartons lovely figurines
from their mantlepiece in time
where they wrestle and they play
our wit and wonder snuffed
in our routine operations
our own beauty not enough
