lyrics

I recall Carmen
I see her in a rail car
With the pale moon on her golden skin
Moving like a tongue of fire
Leaning over in the back seat
In the scarlet dusk
When she told me how her mamma got sick
And our fingers touched

Tell her you believe in her heart of glass
A tremor in your throat but the pains gonna pass
Carmen was the dawn where it eastward sprung
To reveal I am no one


When you know the name of the long night
You’ll see I’m in a bad way
In my vague garment of light
I hear you through the wall again
Like I knew you in the level air once
In your faded clothes
See in your eyes there was a vision of love
Like a child, I suppose

They say I was afraid when the darkness come
So I call her from the payphone say “what have I done?”
Carmen if you leave you’ll be on my mind
But you’ll come back to me some time

I would lay no hand upon the premonition baby in the back of my hotel
Though the sun is gone, remember how you knew me kinda well
When the tongue of flame had hung upon my body you would leave me for a while
And maybe know the sadness that I noticed in the corners of your smile

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

When the sun is gone I’ll hold out for you Carmen in the back of my hotel
And recall the song that no amount of longing could dispel
When the tongue of flame had hung upon me honey you would see I loved you best
But you’d hold out for the figurine that kneels now at your bedside where I dressed.
