Hopper Painting |
| Thought I saw you dancing |
| On the tables late last night |
| High romancing with some college kid |
| Thought I saw you waltzing |
| In the blue-grey bistro gloom |
| Thought I saw you dancing |
| Did you see me, too? |
| I’m the one in the photograph |
| You painted yesterday |
| A high relief reflection |
| Of your promises and pain |
| See me disappearing |
| Like a shadow at high noon |
| I will follow when you want me to |
| Thought I saw you writing |
| Like an outlaw on the dunes |
| Looking lost in the afternoon |
| Cool pretender |
| With your poetry and blues |
| I remember what it cost just being you |
| Now the Tarot cards are numbered |
| And the deck is made of glass |
| The dealer’s made a bargain with his soul |
| I thought I saw you trembling |
| As you threw it all away |
| Thought I saw you dancing |
| But the night had turned to day |
| I’m the one in the photograph |
| You painted yesterday |
| A cool reflection |
| Of your promises and pain |
| Believe in me |
| Before you throw it all away |
| Believe in me… I know the way |
