Edith Wharton's Figurines - Suzanne Vega Edith wharton's lovely figurines Still speak to me today From their mantlepiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
With passions and with prudences Finances and fears Her face and what it's worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival Love is never blind
Now, olivia lies under anasthesia Her wit and wonder snuffed In a routine operation Her own beauty not enough, Her passions and her prudences Finances and fears Her face, what it was worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival Love is never blind
