All The Fine Young Ladies Lyrics - Love & Fear - Tom Russell

When your heart drops through the floor 

And her eyes begin to shine 

You wonder if she loved you or was it just the wine? 

I recall when passion 

Was our only friend 

When a loving conversation was not a game to win 

[All the fine young ladies 

I guess I drove 'em crazy 

Compromise was not one of my rules 

If I could hold 'em once again 

I might learn to be a man 

Who could satisfy a lady in her prime 

If I could hold a fine young lady one more time] 

Most of them quit drinkin 

They left it up to me 

They said drink yourself to kingdom come 

See if it sets you free. 

Some went to religion 

Some bought cats and dogs 

I pass their ghost out on the street 

When im stumbling through a fog 

[All the fine young ladies 

I guess I drove 'em crazy 

Compromise was not one of my rules 

If I could hold 'em once again 

I might learn to be a man 

Who could satisfy a lady in her prime 

If I could hold a fine young lady one more time] 

Solo 

Well, is this town called Dublin, Mr? 

Or are we in Milan? 

Or on the beach of Costa Rica lying on the sand 

I live mostly now in memory 

I came here for the baths 

My name's Jay Alfred Brufrock, Sir 

Hey, isn't that a laugh? 

[All the fine young ladies 

I guess I drove 'em crazy 

Compromise was not one of my rules 

If I could hold 'em once again 

I might learn to be a man 

Who could satisfy a lady in her prime 

If I could hold a fine young lady one more time]
