Lady Writer - Dire Straits

Lady Writer on the TV

Talk about the Virgin Mary

Reminded me of you

Expectations left to come up to yeah

Lady writer on the TV

Yeah, she had another quality

The way you used to look

And I know you never read a book

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face

Then I recall my fall from grace

Another time, another place

Lady writer on the TV

She had all the brains and the beauty

The picture does not fit

You talked to me when you felt like it Just the way that her hair fell down around her face

Then I recall my fall from grace

Another time, another place

Yes and your rich old man

You know he’d call her a dead ringer

You got the same command

Plus you mother was a jazz singer

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face

Then I recall my fall from grace

Oh yeah, another time, another place

Lady writer on the TV

She knew all about a history

You couldn’t hardly write your name

I think I want you just the same as the
