And When I See The Sign That Points One Way


Billy Bragg: Walk Away Renee (Version)





She is standing on my lids
And her hair is in my hair
She has the color of my eye
She has the body of my hand
In my shade she is engulfed
As a stone against the sky

She will never close her eyes
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate
And me laugh cry and laugh
Speak when I have nothing to say

--Paul Éluard


HE DANCES AT DAYLIGHT
WAY OVER YONDER WHERE THE WIND BLOWS FREE
