Edith Wharton's Figurine

Edith Wharton's lovely figurines

Still speak to me today

From their mantelpiece in time

Where they wrestle and they playWith passions and with prudences

Finances and fears

Her face, what it's worth to her

In the passing of the yearsSee the portrait come to life

See the vanity behind

'Cause in the struggle for survival

Love is never blindNow Olivia lies under anesthesia

Her wit and wonder snuffed

In a routine operation

Her own beauty not enoughHer passions and her prudences

Finances and fears

Her face, what it's worth to her

In the passing of the yearsSee the portrait come to life

See the vanity behind

'Cause in the struggle for survival

Love is never blindEdith Wharton's lovely figurines

Still speak to me today

From their mantelpiece in time

Where they wrestle and they playWe lie under anesthesia

Our wit and wonder snuffed

In our routine operations

Our own beauty not enough
