lyrics

--The Ballad of Johnnie Grinder
and Orange Li--

She played guitar
He loved to sing along
And the lyrics seem to write themselves

On treasured skylines
Paintings of the portrait's light
Rembrandt evenings spent

They called out the names
As the abstracts flowed
The gallery rains
In the darkness, shown

When they fell into the warm café
And their friends were all there
They bought a round,
Sang until they couldn't anymore
Never knew a better time…

They called out names
And they drank each other's health
And they spent their money unwisely
Never knew a better time, never better
