Sea Wolf - Blue Stockings lyrics

rate me

Open the window up

the one besides the armoire

I need some cool autumn air

in this baroque hotel room

while you put on your stockings

on the rocker by the mirror

"Put on a record," You say

We're both relieved at the idea

We're both relieved at the idea

It crackles like a fire

The sounds caress our fears

and we've put off the silence

that hung so long in stale air

That used to be a mystery

a secret book to unlock

but we've stopped writing in it

or thrown away the key

And as I watched yuo sitting there

in the chair that you're rocking

I can see that there's a tear

in your new blue stockings

As I watch you sitting there

in the chair that you're rocking

I can see that there's a tear

in your new blue stockings

Shapes dance on the wallpaper

Headlights through yellow leaves

just like they did last June

the first night we hared a room

back then they were alive

a lively jitterbug in bloom

but now they're dancing in slow waltz

and the'll be gone tomorrow afternoon

As I watch you sitting there

in the chair that you're rocking

I can see that there's a tear

in your new blue stockings

As I watch you sitting there

in the chair that you're rocking

I can see that there's a tear

in your new blue stockings
