A picture of Amsterdam
|
Bare trees under glass
|
Framed in the grey and white afternoon light
|
Of a winter long past
|
When I was a raiser
|
To Dublin I'd roam
|
She was a bareback rider
|
Some miles from home
|
Come back to me
|
She's a carnival diver
|
Hung in the sky
|
Cutting through time like a memory
|
Strung on a wire
|
The color of anything
|
Fades in the air
|
But she is the film of a book of the story
|
Of the smell of her hair
|
Come back to me
|
When every thing's over
|
Every thing's clear
|
Everyone's older
|
No one is here
|
I try to remember
|
A girl on a wire
|
Tumbling and diving above Stephen's Green
|
Like a kite on the air
|
Come back to me
|
