The Square

from Shades of Violet by William Remmers

/

lyrics

Standing in the square
I can almost hear you
A ribbon in my hair
I can almost feel you
Upon the air
Never knowing where, dear

Walking down the street
I'm Alida Valli
The cause of my defeat
They will call you Holly
Without hello and
Without goodbye
As I walk on by, dear

When I round around
The basket fills
A casket when I see you
Poised upon upon
The pillar which
Will fill her daily with dread
And fly away, away
And fly away and back
And never come home again
Don't you ever go home again

The corner of my eye
Has the dew of mystery
Afraid to even try
To imbue with history
But not to close
When the moment shows clear

Breath evading lungs
And balloons are leaven
I'll hold onto their tongues
And ascend to heaven
Or at least the sky
Or at least I'll try
Or I'll walk on by, dear

Then I round around
The basket filled
A casket if I see you
Glasses on and on
The pillar which
Will fill her daily with bread
And while away, away
I'll fly away and back
And never come home again
If you ever come home again

Then, and only then,
Will I take your jacket
So that you come again
Cause you need it back it
will be, we'll be
Well we'll be, will we be?

The tail around the bend
I had nearly missed you
Escaped and not a friend
Will I really miss you
When I walk on by
Will I walk on by
When I walk on by
Will I walk on by, dear

Standing in the square
I can barely hear you
A ribbon in the air
I can barely feel you
