Radio Orchid

This is one of the best bitter-sweet songs that I have ever heard.



There's an old lady living in an old house
Since her husband died she hasn't been out
She lives in her own world with her own little nightmares
And she's stopped counting the days

She buys a radio station with her husband's legacy
She does her own show 10 hours a day
Plays poems and listens, lets feelings run free
Helps people talk their pain away

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady, call the station today

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let it fly

Sending her message, she's solving the problems
Of millions and millions and who solves hers
The old lady gets older, still lives in her old house
But when she dies, we'll all live alone

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady, call the station today

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let it fly

Take your lonely heart and let it fly

So if your world falls down
Can't see the light of day
Call the lady, call the station today

This is radio orchid, listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid, listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let it fly

Take your lonely heart
