Fred Astaire

from Postcards From Downtown by Dayna Kurtz

lyrics

i’m caught
i’m seen through
if you were a chivalrous man,
you’d know what to do

you’re a sad prince
you’re my most humble pie
and under serious oath
you’re my sweetest lie

i had a dream that you danced
just like fred astaire
i sat and watched, leaning back
as you glided on air around me

i’d do anything you want
look what you’ve done
i’d be a game that you play
much too easily won
i’m too easily won

and i don’t care
what you do
who strokes your hair
where you run off to

mill street tonight is twinkling like stars
hollywood dust under seventies cars
i miss you

i’d do anything you want
look what you’ve done
i’d be a game that you play
much too easily won
i’m too easily won

and what do you remember
after too much sweet wine;
that you woke up hungover
or that you had a good time?
well, i had a good time
