about

I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey. It is a period drama about English society around the first World War. There is a tragic character named Edith on the show that inspired this song.

lyrics

Edith was chronically in love while her sisters tripped and skipped over their suitors
Edith pined and longed for someone to walk with

Why isn't there anyone ever left for me
Why am I left alone always a little to late to the party

She fell for an older man they spent their days roaming churches and the countryside
But her older sister scared him away

Why isn't there anyone ever left for me
Why am I left alone always a little to late to the party

By chance she met a farmer tilling the land shared his meat, cheese and wine
But the farmer's wife stopped the romance

Why isn't there anyone ever left for me
Why am I left alone always a little to late to the party

about

Lou Leaves the Room Atlanta, Georgia

I love music. I love listening to music and I love creating music. Some musicians are purists, but I am definitely a tweaker. I try to play music I would want to hear.
