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 |
