Ladies of leisure, with their eyes on the back roads --- |
| [00:51.000] |
All looking for strangers, to whom they extend welcomes |
| [01:01.000] |
With a smile and a glimpse of pink knees and elbows; |
| [01:11.000] |
Of satin and velvet --- good ladies, good fortune. |
| [01:24.000] |
Ladies. |
| [01:47.000] |
They sing of their heroes: of solitary soldiers |
| [01:58.000] |
Invested in good health and manner most charming. |
| [02:08.000] |
Whose favors are numbered (none the less well intended) |
| [02:19.000] |
By hours in a minute; by those ladies who bless them. |
| [02:32.000] |
Ladies. |
