Orphan Song
Music: Lyndon Heart
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove

This is just an orphan song
I don’t like to sing it anymore
But if I don’t who will
I wrote it late that Autumn
When you were tangled in my bed
I’d listen to your breathing
My shirts all smelled like you
My guitar rung out your name
And your smile moved mountains in me

Orphan songs are all about the losing
Orphan songs are all about the ache
Orphan songs wont let you forget
Orphan songs always take
They are only written for women like you
By fools like me

This is just an orphan song
A regular requests it now and then
On nights the bar is quiet
They say it reminds them
Of a passion long since dead
I know there’s something more there
Those sad eyes tell the story
They can’t quite relate
But it’s their smile that breaks my heart

Orphan songs are all about the losing
Orphan songs are all about the ache
Orphan songs wont let you forget
Orphan songs always take
They are only written for women like you
By fools like me

Oh, I would not unwrite a word
I would not unplay a note
That’s the thing about an orphan song
It never lets go

Orphan songs are all about the losing
Orphan songs are all about the ache
Orphan songs wont let you forget
Orphan songs always take
They are only written for women like you
By fools like me
