then you moved downstairs to live with her

instead.

I decided to stay.

and every night I open all the windows I let a cold

dark wind blow through.

I play loud organ music and I talk to myself and dream

of you.

I hear voices coming

Rough the pipes through all the springs in my bed and up through the lights the

volume goes up then it drops back down I can hear the two of you playing

records moving furniture and fooling arou
