When I met Esmerelda
She was lovely and kind
She laughed at my jokes
She was easy to coax into
Having a really good time
Six feet tall
She lived down the hall
Oo Esmerelda
You were the savior on call
When I met Esmerelda
I was just shy of nineteen
She came from a world that I as a girl
Hoped one day I would see
Six feet tall,
Oo, the envy of all
Oo Esmerelda
Thank you for breaking my fall
Oo Esmerelda
Sometimes you just play the part
Oo Esmerelda
Don’t let them leave with your heart
Esmerelda, nee Anne
Ohh she could outthink any man
There with a shoulder to cry on
Nobody came for her hand
Six feet tall
Oo, the envy of all
Oo Esmerelda
Thank you for breaking my fall
Oo Esmerelda
Sometimes you just play the part
Oo Esmerelda
Don’t let them leave
Don’t let them leave
Leave
With your heart

On my kitchen table
Post card from Paris
A trifolded city map of
Kathmandu
Drumming her red fingernails on the table
Distractedly watching the
Evening news
Final call flight 57
Now boarding gate 22
I’ll call you when I get there as I always do
Time is the constant that slips out the back door
I dialed her telephone and
Charged it to my room
Hearing the voice she saves for over seas calling
I hear her smile
Tell me, Karie, where are you
When you play are people dancing
The way that we used to do
Even though she is asking
I know that she won’t recall
When I fly home in June
Fly away Jack
Fly away Jill
Come back Jack
Ooo, if you will
There on the table
Two cold Presidentes
A couple chanced to dance
Just this afternoon
Oh what a chance
Farewell little island
To wind up dancing in your
Crown Heights living room
Final call flight 57 now boarding gate 22
Memories of my mother
Are you calling me
Or am I calling you
Fly away Jack
Fly away Jill
Come back Jack
Ooo, if you will
If you will
I remember
Do you remember me
This way

Singer of sorrow
Stirrer of the pot
We’re all just trying to get by
Get by
Sitting like a still life before me
Poet and a playwright
Sunlight through the trees
And you, you might as well speak your peace
Singer of sorrow
Understands the plot
We’re all just trying
Trying to get by
Get by
Falling like some fallen angel
Martyr in the square
With his feet to the fire
You, you might as well hold your peace
Singer of sorrow
Prisoner of desire
Oh, we’re all just trying
Trying to get by
Get by
Sitting like a still life before me
Poet and a playwright
Sunlight through the trees
Falling like some fallen angel
Ooo
Might as well let me
Love you
Just let me love you
Singer of sorrow
Sunlight through the trees
Singer of sorrow
Sunlight through the trees
Singer of sorrow
Sunlight through the trees
Sitting like a still life before me
Poet and a playwright
Don’t mean that much to me
Singer of sorrow
Sunlight through the trees
Oh
Uh uh uh
Yeah
Come on
Yeah

I love it when you say goodbye
Brush your lips across my cheek
I love it when you say goodbye
Goodbye darling
Parting is so sweet
Breathe the air
So clean so clear
Fragrant as a flower
Happy Hour when you are near
Roll the scene I’m a movie queen
Scroll the credits happy ending
My romantic comedy
I love it when you say
When you say goodbye
Gone the days of wondering
Will you call or will you write
Write my darling
I love it when we kiss good night
Breathe the air
Oh so clean so clear
Fragrant as a flower
Happy Hour when you are near
We won’t fuss, oh no and we won’t fight
If you have to leave it’s fine with me because
You’ll come home tonight
I, I love love love it when you say goodbye
Love it
Don’t I spend time missing you
Well I do but
I love love love it
Love it when you say goodbye
Goodbye
Because
You’ll come home
You’ll come home
You’ll come home to me
You’ll come home to me
