If you see the accordion girl Better walk the other way Underneath the viaduct Might be where you'll hear her play If you see the accordion girl I'll give you some advice Avoid her eyes and walk away
And I lie in the night and I listen And I want to hear her play.
If you see the accordion girl Walking by the perfumed river Tell me is she on her own Tell me is there someone with her Where the grapes hang thick on the vine And far behind the faint stars shine And fall like pearls of alien corn That break in waves against my door
