Lyrics Ladies

Ladies of leisure, with their eyes on the back roads
All looking for strangers, to whom they extend welcomes
With a smile and a glimpse of pink knees and elbows
Of satin and velvet - good ladies, good fortune ladies
They sing of their heroes: of solitary soldiers
Invested in good health and manner most charming
Whose favors are numbered (none the less well intended)
By hours in a minute; by those ladies who bless them
Ladies
