Barcarolle lyrics

A cloud lets go of the moon
Her ribbons are all out of tune
She`s skating on the ice in a glass
In the hands of a man
That she kissed on a train
And the children have all gone into town
To get candy
And we are alone in the house here
And your eyes fall down on me

I belong only to you
The water is filling my shoes
In the wine of my heart there`s a stone
In a well made of bone
I will bring to the pond
And I`m here in your picket
And curled up in a dollar
And the chain from your watch
Around my neck
And I`ll stay right here
Until it`s time

The girls all knit in the shade
Before the baby is made
The branches bend down to the ground
Here to swing on
I`m lost in the blond summer grass
And the train whistle blows
And the carnival goes
Till there`s only the tickets and crows here
But the grass will all grow back

The branches spell Alice
And I belong only to you
