lyrics

High above the 8 X 10s - a big blue sky is coloured in
As Lily plays piano in the west wing of a Hawthorn mansion
She plays each note just like it is, with the solemn poise of morning gin
On any given day it's the best thing she has found

All hell is waiting to be offered up by Lily and those ivory chords.

Tender moments overlooked by her marriage to a balanced book
And the sweet scented display of a manicured house
By and by the six foot fence a simple life of ordinance
Is surely waved away by a growing bank account

All hell is waiting to be offered up by Lily and those ivory chords
By Lily and her ivory show

She gave her love of course to a guy with an eye for detail
A philosophic dreamer with an antique heart not built for use
A wooden box of strings can take the shape of something precious
And give an old girl wings to fly away

High above a sleepless night, a restless girl has taken flight
And Lily plays piano
