What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I knew this colorful woman once
2
She drank and had a roving eye
3
In the morning she was always mournful
4
She'd cry and apologize
5
But she'd always repeat herself
6
Find comfort with a stranger and sing
7
She never took much notice
8
In the courtesy of kings
9
She had pictures of Cuban artists
10
And paintings from Rotterdam
11
Promises that she made
12
She never could stay true to them
13
She said she loved me so deeply
14
Then she'd spit in my face and scream
15
And she never took much notice
16
In the courtesy of kings
17
She had the face of an angel
18
And a smile no one could deny
19
But the heart of a devil
20
Beat deep down in her inside
21
She spoke of judgment and forgiveness
22
Her other lovers didn't mean a thing
23
She never took much notice
24
In the courtesy of kings
25
We parted in the middle of nowhere
26
I haven't seen her since then
27
She always kept my mind busy
28
She made her lies seem like a hymn
29
Sometimes I wonder if I'd see her
30
If I would still recognize
31
Or just remember her as a dream
32
And respect her for the love she used to bring
33
If I could show her
34
