wrapping paper

cream

wrapping paper in the gutter

moving slowly as the wind on the sea

in your picture on a wall of a house of old times. can you hear me

wandering sadly?

in the city

feeling pretty

down and out and making love to you on the shore

in the picture as i gaze ahead and don't see

that they're calling. wandering sadly. shattered windows

stairs to nowhere. hear you calling

as i wander so sadly. wish i knew what you'd done to me;

turned me on to things i never knew. it's all broken

weeds are growing. wish i was going home to the house by the shore

where you loved me

loved me so sadly. someday i'll get back

somehow i'll do it. i'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me. kiss again in the picture on the wall

in the old house. loved you so well.
