Lyrics to Letter to E : Amsterdam, the first of June 1992
Dear Eric, Yesterday evening, I came home late I went to the shelf with the videotapes I saw the tape of Geneva, March 31 1984 The day we went to the fountain Flavia you and me
It’s a circle of women With names that ended with an A They went away, they went away
Remember you said you wanted A photograph of the four of us We watched the fountain, we walked in Geneva Around the Russian church with the golden onions We saw a guitar in the window it was great Like a Picasso painting
It’s a circle of women With names that ended with an A They went away, they went away
Now frame by frame The water fell from the fountain Today your necklace is broken The string of pearls the gallery of portraits The women that ended with an A The frozen moment of a summer’s day
It was a circle of women With names that ended with an A They went away And that’s ending on Y
