[davespeak]
So, I've been telling this story every night, 'cause it's kind of a groovy little story, even though it's a
little bit sad. Well, I think it's sad -- you might just think it's fucking hilarious, but -- anyway, it was
sad for me.
Anyway, I was, I was in New York City. I was, uh, I was finishing off this album that just have been
working on, so -- and I think it sounds pretty fucking good.
Anyway, so I was walking down the street between sessions, and uh, I wanted to find, I think, um, a
museum, or a, or a bookstore or something -- anyway, I can't fucking, a deli -- I don't know what
the fuck I was looking for. Anyway -- anyway, there was um, there was a girl. I didn't know where I,
how to get where I was going, and she's part of the reason I can't remember where I was going.
But anyway, I asked her, I said, you know, how do I get to wherever it was, and ??.
Um [spoken word]
she said, take a left take a right,
turn ??
and I said thank you very much
and I walked away
I took about twenty paces I guess
and then I thought, damn she was
[vocals]
fine
so I turned around,
and I went back and she was gone.
[davespeak]
Anyway, before you get too excited ... She was little though. She was little. She wasn't, I mean, she
wasn't all that little, but she was, she wasn't a Vogue model, she was -- little lips, and little hips,
and I can imagine a little tiny ring through her navel, and she had big eyes.
[vocals]
Where could she be now?
She's the girl
who told me how to get
where I don't know
but her face is on my mind
she's ?? and ??
and her voice echoes in my head
her hair was falling
and I didn't even
ask her her name
wouldn't seem right
but now she's gone
and I think day and night
how I long for her
she's away
gone for good it seems
so I say
she's a weight on ??
God see her then
?? is only
ooh the walls
come squeezing in me
what I don't cold
I'm standing here again
hoping she might show up
maybe it's a route she
used every day
or once in awhile
no sign
no words
no smile
I can hear her now
saying wait and meet her
me I've got you inside
and waiting all day
and her sad smile
her eyes are both staring in the darkness away
come again
please come again
please come again
please come here
and ??
time with me
but well
I'm wide open
open heart
open heart
you give
you give
waiting I ??
I would wait on my knees
oh return
return to me again
??
little girl
little eyes
little lips
I'm lying
she came
cold in
