in the piano room... (again)...

In the piano room
The big clock chimes eleven-thirty
Outside
Green leaves wobble
Others ripped orange & red
The sun flicks at the French doors
One hundred & twenty-eight panes of glass
Shadows & steppes
St. Louis Blues
Outside
Hauling boats out of the river letting out to the sea
A boat towing a daysailer
Trucks backed in lined up down the slope
Play free
Play free
St. Louis Blues
In the piano room
Pictures & three lamps lighted low
Montmartre
She
Sings in my ear
'secret of life is enjoying the passage of time' *
St. Louis Blues
Play free

*James Taylor lyric
