The Valentine Pieces Songtext
von Danny O’Keefe

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
