Lyrics

Orange Grove (© 2005, Ian Harris)

There?s a mother in a house there, she finds her heart beating
slower than a heart attack but faster than a stroke
She waits there for her children but they?ve all grown
moved off to city, only call her when they?re broke

And there?s a young girl who never felt pretty
she wants them all to see her dressed up like a queen
But she holds a dark secret, she doesn?t like roses
at least not the kind that are beautiful and living

(Chorus)
Where the lights light up the streets at night
all along the road like pictures in a gallery
They?re walking on the sidewalk, kicking at the air
dreaming of a place that exists only in their memories
They used to call it Millionaires Row
now they just call it Orange Grove

And the young men dressed up with fancy limousines
they stayed all summer at the Castle Green
What once was resort hotel living
now is a condo and backdrop for the Hollywood movies

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And its too late, they?ve all gone
the ghosts of their gardens
have turned into amusement parks

Now the young girl, she thinks she?s so pretty
standing there all dressed up like a queen
but she holds that secret, she holds it so tightly
Who in the world does she think that she?s fooling

(Chorus)

There?s a mother in a house there, she finds her heart beating
slower than a heart attack but faster than a stroke
She waits there for her children but they?ve all grown
moved off to the city, only call her when they?re broke
