about

With thanks James Joyce.

lyrics

I yanked off my great gray coat
And I draped it on the chair
I conjured you up like a ghost
Your dark eyes, your dark hair
Your lips parted slightly
And you breathed a gentle sigh
You reached out and took my hand
Reflections in a golden eye

My soul swooned slowly
As I heard the snow fall faintly
Through the stars and faintly falling
Upon the living and the dead

We waltzed around the room
Like we did when we were young
You smelled familiar and blue
I tasted your sweet tongue
I held on to your hips
You took me for a ride
‘Round and ‘round and 'round we went
As the music amplified

I dragged on my gray coat
And I headed out the door
You stood there like a chest
And I closed the drawer
I walked among the strangers
No one I recognized
I heard your song echo in the streets
It flew away like butterflies
