Perhaps in Spring Perhaps in spring a short
distance from stardust the
fragrance of tangerine blossoms The subject
of my daydream while
sitting in sunlight letting
myself think I belonged
to this enchanted world and there I
would remain In a house
of staircases and mirrors a mural of
watery above the
furniture and large red cushions strewn by
the fireplace where a body could drift
for hours listening to the music
of water lapping
against ancient stones of buildings
with golden spires Could I
somehow return to this
Garden of Earthly Delights even within
the confines of a lifetime in which I
was born too late as if that would make a difference? Perhaps in
spring as the song
of my daydream lingers and
reminds me I should never think of spring for that would surely break my heart in two Robert
Perry I Get Along Without You Very Well lyrics by
Hoagy Carmichael, 1938 |
