"Brand New Tennessee Waltz" Lyrics

(Jesse Winchester)

Oh, my you have a handsome face
You favour a man that I know
I imagine that he's still in Tennessee
I know I should be there too
I've a sadness too sad to be true

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I'm leaving you.
'Cause love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got them a few.
So when I leave I'll be glad to love you
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're light really waltzing on air.

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.

I'm feeling like one of your photographs
I trapped while I'm putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.

So have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if she did.
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you
Love descending Victorian stairs.

There's no telling who will be there...
