I'm particularly intrigued by the tune 'Fading Lady'. If anybody has any background on it I'd love to hear it. All you Mudcatters are the best; we ought to all get together sometime and see what happens. |

Count all your jewelry and your lace; Count all the shoes beneath your bed And while you're counting all those things in your head, Try and wipe the sorrow from your face.... |

(Chorus) Count all your jewelry and your lace; Count all the shoes beneath your bed And while you're counting all those things in your head, Try and wipe the sorrow from your face.... V1 When you were young you courted all the pretty boys And laughed aloud with ones they knew And soon you walked and talked and you thought just like them too And now you wonder whats become of you Chorus V2 When you chose one to be your husband for your life You weight his good points by his gains His promise security was filled and you felt fine But now in your age those mellow years won't sustain Chorus V3 Now for imagination where you seek out the ones Who live a life of dreams they build You have no gifts to share and you've nothing for no-one So just watch the colours fading as you start to wilt Chorus |
