Rococo Zephyr Songtext
von Bill Callahan

She lay beside me
Like a branch from a tender willow tree
I was as still
As still as a river could be
When a rococo zephyr swept over
Her and me


She watched the water ripple, ripple, ripple, ripple light
Light watched the water ripple, ripple, ripple, ripple she
I did some kind of dance
Jaunty as a bee
I tried to look my best
A finch in wild mint vest
A fiercer force had wrenched her
From where she used to be
I caught and caressed the length of her
A tender willow branch floating on me

Well, maybe this was all
Was all that meant to be
Maybe this is all
Is all that meant to be

A rococo zephyr crept up
And stepped over her and me

Well, I used to be sort of blind
Now I can sort of see

Well, I used to be sort of blind
Now I can sort of see
