Embroidery Lyrics - Singles - Casey Dienel

Since I was a girl, I've been good at embroidery 

I finished up my finishing school in Switzerland 

Then I escaped to Evian, wound my car down the alps, lived only on apricots 

Picked by the side of the road 

In vevey I lived with two spinsters who spoke only french 

But mostly bickered 

They fed me strawberry wine 

I sat in my room writing you lines on doilies 

They all said the same thing 

I wish you were here 

The lights on Lake Geneva are a sight for sore eyes 

They turn the water into glass 

I could step on it and be in Lausanne 

Then I'd be just miles from you, maybe I'd see you in line at the shooting booths 

Maybe you'd buy me an ice cream cone 

But if you look you'll see my initials stitched inside your left breast pocket 

The one you keep your handkerchief in 

The one closest to you heart
