album: Tom Verlaine
RED LEAVES (Verlaine)
We shuffled our faces
Laughing like fish.
Really flip flappin'
We had not a wish.
You said, "Look, the ceiling's down,"
You said it five times
With that beautiful frown
Red leaves whirling
Across my lawn
I see you weaving.
What dost thou sew?
You look at the floor.
You say, "I really don't know"
I asked my darlin'
Why she talks so slow.
She said, "It's the mud above
And the stars below."
We shuffled our faces
Laughing like fish.
Really flip flappin'
We had not a wish.
You said, "Look, the ceiling's down,"
You said it five times
With that beautiful frown
Red leaves whirling
Across my lawn
I see you weaving.
What dost thou sew?
You look at the floor.
You say, "I really don't know"
I asked my darlin'
Why she talks so slow.
She said, "It's the mud above
And the stars below."
