Vanessa’s Father Lyrics by Lauren Christy

Lauren Christy

0

Vanessa's father, he liked to be alone
Creating works of art, which he'd paint in a cottage made of stone
One day I crept inside, and I was unaware
Of what I was gong to find, well the pictures they opened up my mind
I saw sculptures of young lovers intertwined
And on their bodies he had signed his name
And so I left that place, with a different look upon my face
Well I was fifteen and he had a certain charm
The way he smiled at me and the way that he'd gently touch my arm
And somehow we would always be alone
When it was time to take me home
And so we'd speed through the countryside
In his convertible we'd ride
(Chorus:)
Vanessa's father, was driving me home at night
And I never said a word, oh but somehow we just got here
Her father, was driving me home at night
And when I think back to then
I would count the days til I could go there again
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Another weekend, strange thoughts inside of me
Is it Vanessa who I am really going there to see
I'd smoke a cigarette, I'd thought so secretly
But the door it gently opened and he stood there smiling down at me
And then he pushed me backwards against the wall
I looked up cause he's so tall
And then he stared into my eyes
And kissed me so hard I cried
(Chorus:)
Vanessa's father, was sleeping with me at night
And I never said a word, oh but somehow we just got here
Her father, was sleeping with me at night
And when I think back to then
I would count the days til I could see him again
Oh no, oh no, oh no
The shaft of light would fall against my skin
That would seem sensual to him
But I'm too young to use these qualities, you bitch
I must be evil, I must be tained
He breathed against the girl, he's painted a thousand times
I give up, and put out to him
Now this present time, look back on history
Oh and it seems so clear
Everything has been planned out for me
My husband smiles at me, sends love for me to see
I can't regret my past
Cause Vanessa's father
Is married to me
