Mona Lisa wouldn't
tell you what her smile is about
Mona Lisa had to laugh
and couldn't let it out
from behind closed lips
i see it shinning out
Mona Lisa you could tell me
you and I would have been friendly
we share a secret I see upon your face
the world's a funny place
I wonder if she had a lover who was kind
it might explain the simlar expression hers and mine
behind a canvass face it's my own I find
Mona Lisa you could tell me
you and I would have been friendly
we share a secret I see upon your face
the world's a funny place
Mona Lisa did you make love the morning that you posed
was it hard to stumble out of bed and find your clothes
your painted eyes speak as one who knows
Mona Lisa you could tell me
you and I would have been friendly
we share a secret I see upon your face
the world's a funny place
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
