Dan Bern Little Russian Girl Lyrics

Little Russian Girl Lyrics

god bless you lana, 
little russian girl
for talking to me just when I
needed it most
god bless you lana, 
russian gothic girl
for talking to
me just when I needed it most

I'm sorry that your mama
is far away in
russia, 
and she can't come see you
and you can't go see her

and
I'm sorry your first marriage 
ended in divorce
and your first husband
felt he had to lock you in a cage

and sorry that the second one is
making you unhappy
cause now your husband doesn't understand his wife at
all

and most I get so sorry 
you're married and you can't
drive up
the coast tomorrow 
and lay on your day off

but anyway lana
god
bless you lana
for talking to me just when I needed it most

I'm glad
the coffee shop wasn't busy at all
you saved me from a night of trying to
scrape myself
off the wall

I just let another one walk out of my
life
a sweet bird who always kept such a nice nest
for a while I came
back
but finally I told her
keep your pretty eggs warm
for somebody
else

and now I see her eyes in everybody's eyes
and I can't help
thinking that I'm just a fool
I cried at the strip show I cried at the
stoplights
I cried at the howard stern movie I cried
right now I could
cling to just about anyone

so god bless you lana 
little russian
girl
for talking to me just when I needed it most
and if you weren't
married
I might be with you now
and we'd be holding on so tight cause if
we let go
the world would start spinning clear out of control
thanks for
talking to me when I needed you most

I'm glad the coffee shop wasn't
busy at all
you saved me from a night of trying to scrape myself
off the
wall

god bless you lana little russian girl
for talking to me just
when I needed you most
god bless you lana little russian girl
for talking
to me just when I needed you most
