Siberry jane 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...
