Intro:                     

                                                              
Sweet Lor raine the        fiery head         brown eyed schemer

who         came from a    long line of      drinkers and dreamers

who         knew that       sunshine don?t   hold up to dark

whose      businesses      fail who            sleep in the park

Lor          raine who       spoke of           paintings in Paris

and          outlandish      things to her     family just to scare us

whose      heart went      pokin? where     it shouldn?t ought

                                               
whose mother could only, spit at the thought

                                      
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


                                                                
Her          father would    tear out like a   page of the Bible

then he?d  burn down the  house to       announce his arrival

her           mother was     working and     never was home

Lor          raine carved    out a little        life of her own



                                                       
Lor      raine started working, Lorraine went to   school

her       mother threw stones         at her on the   day that she moved

now     isn?t that a                       very strange    thing to do

                                                
for someone who never really wanted you

     	                          
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


                                           
Her daddy called her a slut and a whore
                                                 
on the night before her wedding day
                                
the very next morning, at the church
                        
her daddy gave, Lorraine away, Lorraine away
                    
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


                                                                         
In the       battle of         time, in the             battle of will

it?s          only your        hope and your         heart that gets killed

and it?s     harder and     harder Lorraine, to      believe in magic
                                                                             

                                                                       
when        what came      before you was        so very tragic
               
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine

                              
Sweet Lorraine
