She could put on diamonds Well she could put on glass She could dress herself in fashion Well she could put on colors She could sit in her garden overlooking the lake Well… ah well here resided the difference Here resided the difference Oh she so loved nature And an airy room With a lovely view With a most comfortable chair To contemplate all this nearby. And all she had Was a broken down flat.
Irwin R. Shaw - August 18th 1982
She could put on diamonds
Well she could put on glass
She could dress herself in fashion
Well she could put on colors
She could sit in her garden overlooking the lake
Well… ah well here resided the difference
Here resided the difference
Oh she so loved nature
And an airy room
With a lovely view
With a most comfortable chair
To contemplate all this nearby.
And all she had
Was a broken down flat.
