Madge (Live)

It was 1927
 Had the world at my feet
 A pretty girl on each arm
 My family was so proud of me
 I built a lot of buildings
 Tore half of 'em down
 One by one
 They all crumbled just like me
 But like a storm in a teacup
 Like a smile sent down from heaven
 Madge, I loved you then
 and I love you now
 We ate in the finest restaurants
 Had the wealthiest friends
 Most of them are gone now
 No one left to say, "I knew you when"
 It seems so long since I've remembered
 the girl I used to know
 She never saw any of my money
 But she watched it come and go
 Like a storm in a teacup
 like a smile sent down from heaven
 Madge I loved you then
 and I love you now
 They call this place "Sunnyside"
 But I ain't seen the sun
 in a long, long time
 And my hands don't seem too steady now
 But they're still holding onto you
 Madge, she's probably married now
 in a nice white house
 and me I just sit here in my room
 Quiet as a mouse
 But I got my TV turned up loud
 I'm not going to hear myself retreat
 If only I'd have kept her
 I'd have stayed on my feet
 Like a storm in a teacup
 like a smile sent down from heaven
 Madge I loved you then and I love you now...
