Genevieve

from Not From Here by Kevin Matthews

lyrics

She had brass buttons on her coat
A tortoise shell comb in her hair
She used to walk along the seawall
The salt spray in the air

Her name was Genevieve
And I loved her once but
She had to leave

She fell in love with a merchant man
Who traded spices from foreign lands
She opened the door one day and found him
standing on her doorstep, and he asked her for her hand

She said yes, without a thought or hesitation
And since that day my heart hasn't been the same

So now I walk along the seawall
Waiting for any ships to come in
I look for girls with brass buttons on their coats
On their coats.
