You and the Mona Lisa Lyrics

Cover art for You and the Mona Lisa lyrics by Shawn Colvin

This was from her break-up album and so I tend to agree that its about her husband. Personally, it reads like a poem to a man she cannot have but loves, perhaps loves more because she cannot have him.

The unattainable and otherwise attached man..v/v the lyric

.."And it was just a mirage So I hid in the garage 'Til somebody called your name"

Sounds to me like that man belongs to someone else.
