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
