I'm at your window A penny on the pavement Saturday night The moon is a red lantern Dripping a silver wax path to your door The soldiers woke him up that night Strings of banjo, sugar cane Played so sweetly, fireflies The stars sang Seibert's old refrain But now, la vie, don't sail away Your minstrel breeze grow long to me I will find your port again I will wait like Rosencrantz For Godot I'm at your window My face swimming in a glass like light And you pay me a haiku Of cherry blossom shimmering light She had no time for any life And left on bleak and summer's day Oh dog strikes eagles fireflies Rice paper clouds and grey mache But now, la vie, don't sail away I stake my case, let this song burn I will find your port again I will wait like Guildenstern I'm at your window A penny on the pavement Saturday night The moon is a red lantern Dripping a silver wax path to your door Please don't sail away Don't sail away Don't sail away Don't sail away Don't sail away
