(Jesse Winchester)
Oh, my you have a handsome face
You favour a man that I know
I imagine that he`s still in Tennessee
I know I should be there too
I`ve a sadness too sad to be true
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I`m leaving you.
`Cause love is mainly just memories
And everyone`s got them a few.
So when I leave I`ll be glad to love you
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You`re light really waltzing on air.
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There`s no telling who will be there
When I leave it`ll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.
I`m feeling like one of your photographs
I trapped while I`m putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There`s no telling who will be there
When I leave it`ll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.
So have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who`s feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if she did.
`Cause they`ll catch you wherever you`re hid
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There`s no telling who will be there
When I leave it`ll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There`s no telling who will be there
When I leave it`ll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.
There`s no telling who will be there...
