Clark Kent Phone Booth - Ode To Eva Cassidy Lyrics
You were reading at dawn your Szymborska’s poemsWhile the autumn would ashOn your mother’s carpetAnd the idiots’ paradeSomehow still raised a blastMirror cried, cried, criedOff a blue roomOff a blue roomAs the cello player threw his bow to the skySwear I saw the statues cryMade a paper boat with my father’s funeral billHeard those cars hiss by your window’s eyesBut my glance had no more thrillYou were playin’ barefoot in some underpassPerfect as a morning on the beach of CarmelAnd lilies died, died, diedCHORUSThere were more thorns than roses in the deputee’s speechSo we’d get to the garden to kiss our own gravityBut the only four we ever saw breedWere the ones that we drank from the bottle indeedI could feel your own breathing in the pause of your lyricsI may roam in the corners of your sleep and your dreamingColors cried, cried, every color criedOff your blue roomOff your blue roomSwear I, swear I, swear I saw the statues cryWait for happinessWas the joy itself
