(TV) The lyrics to "Pillow"

["Joe Thornton" <joe.thornton@gmx.net>]

While Keith has done a fantastic job of gathering the lyrics on The Wonder
website, I'm suggesting a few small corrections to the lyrics of one of my
favourite Verlaine songs. Does anyone hear it differently?

PILLOW



What does the dove see

There at the window?

A man and woman furious.

Corny picture on the wall,

A bluebird in a tree,

Something here is not resolved.



Time is a crashing thing,

That's what the old book says,

One day you'll be a saint,

I'd better make my bed,

I know that ink is dried,

I know they do not lie,

I better make my bed.



You are remembered well,

Putting on your overcoat in June,

Slipping off that old corsage,

It's nothing, really nothing...



What does the dove see,

There at the window?

Two people fast asleep.

Oh, you were such a clown,

Out on the balcony,

Time is a stupid thing,

That's what you read to me.

Watching the birdies fly,

You whispered, "I could die",

As I recall it's really nothing.



Some things are not resolved,

Corny picture on the wall,

A bluebird in a tree.

A bluebird in the tree.



You are remembered well,

Putting on that overcoat in June,

Slipping off that old corsage,

It's nothing, really nothing...



What does the dove see,

There at the window?

These pains are very hard.
