Memo From Aquatic Park

American Music Club · Other Songs - American Music Club

There's an elephant hunter

And I'm still alone on the city pier

Casting my lines as they come rollin' in off the bay

She said, 'come down, take me down again

And I'll blow your mind'



Well that's where I'll walk

That's where I'll live

When you gone away



If you're laughing at me

Well I guess I don't mind

And if you're gonna miss me

There's nothing more that you could say

It's just the conversation I'll share with myself

At the end of a night



That's where I'll walk

That's where you'll live

When I'm gone away



You got me tired

Baby why do you have to run and hide

Miss the glimmer and the sheen

Our glimmering elephantine

Elephantine

Elephantine..



Walking tune



I can't help myself

I live in my head

Get down from the heights

I feel myself slip

Akin to my skin

I want to be happy

But how can you try



I'm in a car

You're on my left

He's on my right

My eyes on the camera

I focus on the window

And all that's outside



There's raindrops on the window



The sign in the lobby said 'there are no strangers,

Just friends we haven't met'

A man wrote a letter on butcher paper

I saw him in the post office

Look up from great depths



I love you, you know that I do

I may be away but I am right here

Right here
