Blue Stockings

歌詞

Open the window up the one besides the armoire I need some cool autumn air in this baroque hotel room while you put on your stockings on the rocker by the mirror "Put on a record," You say We're both relieved at the idea We're both relieved at the idea It crackles like a fire The sounds caress our fears and we've put off the silence that hung so long in stale air That used to be a mystery a secret book to unlock but we've stopped writing in it or thrown away the key And as I watched yuo sitting there in the chair that you're rocking I can see that there's a tear in your new blue stockings As I watch you sitting there in the chair that you're rocking I can see that there's a tear in your new blue stockings Shapes dance on the wallpaper Headlights through yellow leaves just like they did last June the first night we hared a room back then they were alive a lively jitterbug in bloom but now they're dancing in slow waltz and the'll be gone tomorrow afternoon As I watch you sitting there in the chair that you're rocking I can see that there's a tear in your new blue stockings As I watch you sitting there in the chair that you're rocking I can see that there's a tear in your new blue stockings
