Rococo Zephyr - 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 (rococo)

Swept over

Her and me (rococo)

She watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple light

Light watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple she

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 floatin' 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 (rococo)

Crept up

And stepped over

Her and me (rococo)

Well I used to be sort of blind

Now I can sort of see

Yeah I used to be sort of blind

Now I can sort of see
