Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear - Текст песни

Last night


I dreamed that I was dreaming of you


And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress


Wearing a sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair


That rose and strangled ebony curls moving in a yellow bedroom light


The air is wet with sound


The faraway yelping of a wounded dog


And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak


Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat


A light goes on and a door opens


And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard


A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air


I hear your champagne laugh


You wear two lavender orchids one in your hair and one on your hip


A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dust


Circling the lake in a slow dipping halo


And I hear a Banjo tango


And you dance into the shadow of a Black Poplar Tree


I watched you as you disappeared


I watched you as you disappeared


I watched you as you disappeared...
