lyrics

My Beatrice came from over the Labe
Bohemian like I---
On Summer nights I concealed my
Heart in my jacket pocket.
When I spoke, my words were
Slow and careful,
And fluttered
Away with every breath of smoke,

In Silence.

With my back to the warm, yellow glow of suburban lights,
And beneath an uncertain, cloudy night,
My longing eyes were obscured.
The sweet, pungent odor of silver cocktails…
Covered the desire on my breath.

Star of descending night! Fair is thy light….

My Beatrice came from over the Labe,
Now, she has returned there.
I have glimpsed paradise and was blinded by its light.
My joyous confession is solemn in her absence.

My voice is but a whisper.
Futile and pleading.

It’s nothing, love. You’re shaking like a feather.
Hold me,
Let’s go.
We will sleep together.
