about

A song about how a little luxury can go a long way. A song about life taking it's course.

lyrics

On a dusty road in a small town in Ontario
Trying to get the kids to school on time
Married 14 years with nothing really the matter
Eloise really had just one complaint

Now Eloise didn't ask for much in this life
And Eloise got little in return
She was happy enough in the town she always said she'd come back to
She was happy enough in the town that she never left

Wedgwood Pattern
Sarah's Garden
Botanical Latin
Written on every plate

Driving into town to buy the groceries
She passed by Maryann's store every week
And in the windows and inside on the counters
Sarah's Garden dishes were for sale

Well she memorized every cup and every saucer
The tattered brochure stored beneath her bed
With her finger prints tattooed on the display window
Showing in this life sometimes wishing ain't enough

For Wedgwood Pattern
Sarah's Garden
Botanical Latin
Written on every plate

Salt and Pepper
Never looked better
With ladybugs crawling
All over the cups

She had an egg cup that her husband bought her
It was the only thing in the store they could afford
She cherished it like the diamond ring he gave her
Now hard boiled eggs are her favourite thing to eat

But Eloise has this fantasy
Regarding a tea party
In a wild grove all natural table and chairs
And in every chair a full place setting
Matching spoons and all
And everyone who's anyone is there

Tea cups and coffee mugs platters and jugs
Soup bowls and salad bowls gravy bowls too
Flowers and butterflies beetles and bees
Each piece is different well knows Eloise

In Wedgwood Pattern
Sarah's Garden
Botanical Latin
Written on every plate

Salt and Pepper
Never looked better
With ladybugs crawling
All over the cups

Wedgwood Pattern
Sarah's Garden
