Lyrics
STILL LIFE
by Andrea Wolper
The house, the room
The piano, the chair
A cup of coffee
A rainy afternoon
I can almost see you there.
The hallway, the stair
The vase, a bouquet
A dry martini (and)
A game of solitaire
That's a picture of my day.
Late in the night when the wind is
Rushing through the trees
I light a single candle
I watch the flame … and speak your name
Night after night when I sit here
Listening to the breeze
I see your face before me.
I speak your name … it's not the same
The clock, the hours
The window, the view
The painting on the wall
Of passion fruits and flowers
Everything's still here but you.
