Through the half closed window The drip drip of rain Victorian apartments on overcast days The fair is long over though the melody stays And the sounds filled the street When tonight was today And I’m seven years older From when I first came It was sunny that Sunday Tonight it’s just rain
The taxis run downtown in search of a fare The buses run uptown with nobody there Remember remember December will come And in winter we’ll shiver and another year done O the night has its tricks And the gas pedal sticks And the rain will return for an album that skips
In the Red Bedroom We’re together now forever in the twilight In the Red Bedroom
All of that August alone in a room I’m seven years older than a June afternoon If ever I learned something out of this place It was written in a trace it was hidden on a face And if ever I loved it was secret and strong It was simply a word that was there all along
In the Red Bedroom We’re together now forever in the twilight In the Red Bedroom Where we slept the Red Bedroom
