Kadison, Joshua - Painted Desert Serenade Lyrics






He tells her "I wanna paint you naked on a big brass bed,
with bright orange poppies all around your head"
And she says "Crazy old man, I'm not young anymore"
"That's all right" He whispers. "I've never painted before."

And do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
You got me talking to the moon, you got me walking in the rain.
Do you love me? Do you love me, Lady Jane?

Oh, and I wanna read your tea leaves by candle-light
On a fat red velvet sofa, I wanna be with you all night
I wanna tickle your feet, with a peacock plume
And she says "Can you talk a little softer, there are people in the room"

And do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
You got me talking to the moon, you got me walking in the rain.
Do you love me? Do you love me, Lady Jane?

Jane says "My children bought me here, and promised they'd call"
"But you know that kids forget, that's the way that they are"
And he says "Well that makes us both footloose and fancy-free, so Jane,
do you wanna come see the painted desert with me?"

And do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
You got me talking to the moon, you got me walking in the rain.
Do you love me? Do you love me, Lady Jane?

Do you love me, do you love me like I love you, Lady Jane?

    I am a singer songwriter. I love this song I actually make reference to the album and 'Jessie' in one of my songs have a listen its about a girl who use to sing 'Jessie from Painted Desert Serenade' on a holiday we shared together: https://youtu.be/HNUvxhg859Y

    My friend was managing a large music store in LA. I worked in a nursing home doing activities. I had always hung out there as a kid. I told Dwayne that when people reach 80 their hormones kick in like they are 16. He couldn't grasp it. Then one day Joshua came in to promote this album. Dwayne told him my theory. Dwayne sent the CD and a autographed picture. And a letter saying Joshua knew what I was talking about. I can't wait to be 80.

    That’s a great story! Thanks for sharing it. :)

    Bought this album in 93 after hearing Jessie, I still tingle inside, the way I did when I first heard it. It makes me smile, it makes me sing ad it makes me cry. One of the most powerful collections of songs, sung by an amazing singer.

    My condolences, Im glad to know that there are still some of us out there that believe " till death do us part for better or for worse...." Still love Mine very much even after 25 years of a bad rollercoaster. Wouldn't change it and would do it all over again.

    Love is not for just this life it is for ever and ever

    When this song came out I played it for my wife. She was 18 years older than I was and always was afraid that I would leave her for some one younger than her some day. I told her I would be there till the end. The end came August 19, 2010 and I was with her till that day she left this world. I loved her the the day she passed and I love her still.

    B.... J....

    You must have been very very much in love, I know how you feel after 56 years and we are still going and hope to for many years more

    B.... J....
