Dory Previn - The Lady With The Braid lyrics

Would you care to stay till sunrise? It's completely your decision It's just that going home is such a ride Going home is such a ride Going home is such a ride Going home is such a low and lonely ride Would you hang your denim jacket Near the poster by Pica**o? Do you sleep on the left side or the right? Would you mind if I leave on the light? Would you mind if it isn't too bright? Now I need the window open So if you happen to get chilly There's this coverlet My cousin hand-crocheted Do you mind if the edges are frayed? Would you like to unfasten my braid? Shall I make you in the morning A cup of home-made coffee? I will sweeten it with honey and with cream When you sleep Do you have dreams? You can read the early paper And I can watch you while you shave Oh God, the mirror's cracked When you leave Will you come back? You don't have to answer that at all The bathroom door is just across the hall You'll find an extra towel on the rack On the paisley-patterned papered wall There's a comb on the shelf I papered that wall myself That wall myself... Would you care to stay till sunrise? It's completely your decision It's just the night cuts through me Like a knife, like a knife Would you care to stay awhile And save my life? Would you care to stay awhile And save my life? I don't know what made me say that I've got this funny sense of humour You know I could not be downhearted If I tried, if I tried It's just that going home is such a ride Going home is such a ride Going home is such a ride Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?
