lyrics

cool breeze and a subtle glance
anna says she wrote the book
her friends told me where to look
to find another chance

candor with a femme mystique
anna came another eve
said she would soon have to leave
i was happy just to hear her speak

first gen from a broken home
anna circumvents clichés of
upper-middle class malaise
she likes to be (left) alone

too strong and a bit too soon
anna wants a law degree
says we can’t all be lou reed
calls me bud and goes back to her room

crimson and a hint of jade
weeks go by but anna stays
and occupies my head for days
which otherwise are empty, pale, and staid

autumn and a love resigned
meanwhile, anna, quite the catch
for boys who take what they can latch
has caught the urge and found what she could find

small talk as a backup plan
anna never looked so good
said she was in the neighborhood
i tell her next time ring me in advance

silence and a faint surprise
anna looks to me upset
i ask her what, did she forget
the way she used to give me lover’s eyes

nightfall on a wounded dove
anna turned the other way
crossed her legs as if to say
“you’re not entitled to the ones you love”

cold wind, soaked to the bone
sitting waiting for the train
i thought anna said it wouldn’t rain
but what did she (i) ever know
