cold weather bring your arms to my bed
i fell off a building writing letters to photographs seen in the evenings
oh! tug at my shoelace
tonight silhouettes will follow you
and mount photo will be haunting you
and ill be alone in the house
cold weather bring your arms to my bed

lonesome death

pack your suitcase
lets go to new england and die a lonesome death
but we'll go to coney island
and we'll go swimming in the ocean
before walking to our graves

if i were you
02:36
|
|||
if i were you id change my name
live in a pumpkin field in maine
and hang a rotting rollercoaster from a treelimb near my house
and every other early morning id feed apples to the birds thatd visit me from time to time when their beaks wished to speak with mine
and maybe if you were me youd come and sleep next to me
and we could gargle on the roof while plucking bowties from our hair
and if were you i wonder if youd know just how much i loved you when i left your body and returned to mine

piano's reminiscings
04:33
|
|||
ive been written in a blue room sleeping there toward no one and in the years that youve crowded ill be lonesome enough
for billy a rose on the doorway and your sister loved a raincloud who sang with a teapot
so clarinet slept with her tigers while the fireman got his gun and shot it out a window
now new york city snows are GONE

bicycle laughing street
05:24
|
|||
you were in love with:
the morning snowfall
outer space
phonograph flowers
baseball diamonds
tonight you must bicycle laughing street until it is morning in the city
you were in love with:
the birds singing
lake nicatous
clara rockmore
luna park
but tonight you must bicycle laughing street until it is morning in the city
how could you tell i'd been longing for you death?
you were in love with:
the arctic ocean
photograph mountain
the lives of pianos
sarah on rooftops
but tonight you must bicycle laughing street until it is morning in the city
how could you tell i've been longing for you death?
and in the darkness every night ive known of a spark that swallows shadow ive wished i was with you aboard an ocean liner set sail for europe but i know you could never need someone for travelling
so tonight you will bicycle laughing street
and only the stars will see you leave

i've been so blue
07:28
|
|||
you were younger than your years and i couldnt leave your window
ive been so blue
you could never sing on the telephone and i missed the cold weather
ive been so blue
you missed november more than your brother and i never answered with laughter
ive been so blue
|

i waited for this to be over
two years now at least
for this to be over
oh its quiet for now
is it cold where you are?
it is cold where i am
ive tried rationalising your disappearance
until it became insignificant
but i recognise that language
having spoken it with your brothers
for many years now
and i recognise that image of you
having dreamt of it in my bedroom
for many years long gone
oh its quiet for now
is it cold where you?
IT IS COLD WHERE I AM
BUT I CAN HEAR THE TRAINS ALMOST EVERY HALF AN HOUR
|

8. |
what next what now
03:01
|
|||
what next what now little ghost
how'd you find your way from black into my eyes?
fold your jacket over a chair
might we babble our longings together
shrug the cold from our shoulders
a quiet photograph
just black and white
of you and i sharing an umbrella in the rain

10. |
||||
now its one foot then the other until several years later you set foot in my town
how dare you stroll?
now two bicycles are rusting in the rain
take beautiful for example you sucked the milk from her body and then fed her bones to the ground i know there is blood dried to those fingers you push inside of me now
its one foot then the other until several years later you set foot in my town

on sleepy islands
05:16
|
|||
there will be no songs sung by the chimneys or the trees tonight while we're sleeping beside our windows
and come morning clouds descend into city streets avenues disappear forever
you felt a little bit alone when you were in my arms
but in your eyes silhouettes of flowers fall, flowers fall
but ill be there in my astronomers jacket at your snare drums birthday party conducting the musicians who will play pump organ and violin arrangements ive written for the occasion
and you felt a little bit alone when you were in new york
but in your eyes silhouettes of flowers, flowers fall
so snowflakes will find us laughing at our helmets in october upon sleepy islands

black clouds
04:07
|
|||
we wont breathe until the black clouds pass by
i went walking in the darkness without a jacket or umbrella
there was laughter in the cold for days
eyed the white silhouettes
we wont breathe until the black clouds pass by
cry stream tears sorry dreamer soon youll thank the candle and remember when you were wandering an abandoned airfield in the falling snow
we wont breathe until the black clouds pass by
carousel stars are coming out now over the ocean where the otters swim
