Table For Three
Smeared rouge broken nail torn slip
I'd waited for you again after the dance
a single light flickers a final sign
to fix my lipstick our song played on
the flashing seaburg just around two
quite thee empty gesture
that I'd been waiting far to long on you
with much class I would add until I bent
to retrieve my broken heart
from the paisley covered tile why it was
sheer elegance dining alone when
an interesting figure chanted
are all these seats taken i raised my eyes
calmly replies yes they are all occupied
for me myself and I the gentleman
ooked bewildered standing all alone
he politely asked in a soft tone
would you three lovely ladies mind
very much dancing with we three bored gents
