Rococo Zephyr

Bill Callahan · Other Songs - Bill Callahan

She lay beside me

Like a branch from, a tender willow tree

I was as still

As still as a river could be

When a rococo zephyr (rococo)

Swept over

Her and me (rococo)



She watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple light

Light watched the water ripple ripple ripple ripple she

I did some kind of dance

Jaunty as a bee

I tried to look my best

A finch in wild mint vest

A fiercer force had wrenched her

From where she used to be

I caught and caressed the length of her

A tender willow branch floatin' on me



Well maybe this was all

Was all that meant to be

Maybe this is all

Is all that meant to be

A rococo zephyr (rococo)

Crept up

And stepped over

Her and me (rococo)



Well I used to be sort of blind

Now I can sort of see



Yeah I used to be sort of blind

Now I can sort of see
