Marianne Faithfull song - "The Eyes of Lucy Jordan"

[thikasabrik]

This will sound naff but I'm going to a 50th birthday party soon and all the guests have to go as an old singer AND sing one of their songs. I am going as Marianne Faithfull and have been learning the song "The Eyes of Lucy Jordan."  It's driving me mad that when I listen to the CD I can't make out the last word of the first line.

The line is "THE MORNING SUN TOUCHED LIKE (missing word) THE EYES OF LUCY JORDAN." (The missing word I can't get sounds a bit like 'Leon')

Can anyone help this old saddo please??

The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of lucy jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
As she lay there �neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.

At the age of thirty-seven she realised she�d never
Ride through paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she�d memorised in her daddy�s easy chair.

Her husband, he�s off to work and the kids are off to school,
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.

At the age of thirty-seven she realised she�d never
Ride through paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she�d memorised in her daddy�s easy chair.

The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of lucy jordan
On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.

At the age of thirty-seven she knew she�d found forever
As she rode along through paris with the warm wind in her hair

Wow boo, I am dead impressed! It took me an hour to write it down from the CD.

All I have to do now is smoke about 5,000 cigarettes before Saturday night to achieve the husky voice! Many thanks.

As a back-up/encore you could also learn 'As Tears go By'

Sounds like a cool party....
