Dreaming Of The Plum Trees
Your rating:
Upstairs the neighbors are moving in<br /> Hammering nails into their beds<br /> You can hear them falling in love again<br /> Three times this evening<br /> <br /> While we were asleep in bed<br /> Jealous of how they were so content<br /> Jealous of the money they spent<br /> Three times this evening<br /> <br /> She was born in New Orleans<br /> He made his money on Long Island<br /> Out on Montauk<br /> Sold used cars and paved parking lots<br /> <br /> They bought a cigarette boat<br /> And then they bought a truck<br /> To pull the cigarette boat<br /> From lot to lot, lot to lot<br /> <br /> Oh, but I saw their girl Ruthie<br /> She was running through the streets in her bare feet<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> Someone ought to<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> <br /> Their daughter stepped on glass again<br /> Her foot bled red as dye<br /> Through the floorboards<br /> Through the floor, through the floor<br /> Through the floorboards<br /> <br /> You could hear her crying<br /> You could hear his hand drop<br /> They split the estate up<br /> It was against the law<br /> It was against the law<br /> <br /> Oh, but I saw their girl Ruthie<br /> She was running through the streets in her bare feet<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> Someone ought to<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> <br /> But we were dreaming of the plum trees<br /> We were just dreaming of getting by<br /> Getting by, getting by, getting by<br /> <br /> We were dreaming of making ends meet<br /> We were just dreaming of just getting by<br /> Getting by, getting by, getting by<br /> <br /> I fell in love again tonight<br /> My heart bled red as dye through the floorboards<br /> Through the floor, through the floor<br /> Through the floorboards<br /> <br /> While they tried to sleep in bed<br /> Jealous of how they were so content<br /> Jealous of the money they spent<br /> Three times this evening<br /> Three times this evening<br /> <br /> Oh, and I saw their girl Ruthie<br /> She was running through the streets in her bare feet<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> Someone ought to<br /> Someone ought to be ashamed<br /> <br /> But we were dreaming of the plum trees<br /> We were just dreaming of getting by<br /> <br /> Oh we were dreaming of making ends meet<br /> Oh we were just dreaming of just getting by<br /> Getting by, getting by, getting by<br />
