(John Stewart/Randy Cierley)
|
The yellow window's hanging on the bed across the wall
|
Well, always in the morning the yellowest of all
|
And the faces of the people in the window look so small
|
And the faces in the morning were the peoplest of all
|
Standing on the verandah of Millium August.
|
|
I love to watch the spider in the horn of the Victrola
|
And the window I have colored with a burnt umber crayola
|
The chairs are musty horses with someone else's odor
|
And somewhere in the cushion is a secret ring decoder
|
Standing on the verandah of Millum August.
|
|
While I'm turning cartwheels, the kaleidoscope is singing
|
And somewhere in the distance someone else's phone is ringing
|
There are rugs upon the ceiling, there are lamps upon the floor
|
And renaissance wallpaper they put across the door
|
The house has been torn down and everyone has gone
|
And I am held a prisoner on a cemetary lawn
|
Standing on the verandah of Millium August.
