(Verlaine)
|
What does the dove see
|
There at the window?
|
A man and woman furious.
|
that picture on the wall,
|
A bluebird in a tree,
|
Something here is not resolved.
|
|
Time is a crashing thing
|
That's what the old book says,
|
One day you'll be a saint,
|
I better make my bid,
|
I know the ink is dry,
|
I know they do not lie,
|
I better make my bid.
|
|
You are remembered well,
|
Putting on your overcoat in June,
|
Slipping off that old corsage,
|
It's nothing, really nothing...
|
|
What does the dove see,
|
There at the window?
|
Two people fast asleep
|
Oh, you were such a clown,
|
Out on the balcony,
|
Time is a stupid thing,
|
That's what you read to me.
|
Watching the birdies fly,
|
You whispered, "I could die",
|
As I recall it's really nothing.
|
|
Some things are mot resolved,
|
a picture on a wall,
|
A bluebird in a tree,
|
A bluebird in a tree.
|
|
You are remembered well,
|
Putting on your overcoat in June,
|
Slipping off that old corsage,
|
It's nothing, really nothing...
|
|
What does the dove see,
|
There at the window?
|
These pains are very hard.
