lyrics

My friend, the clever one
She lets me borrow Goodbye, Columbus
We eat pizza that I pull the cheese off, outside Columbia U.
Waiting to hear Roth talk, on his 75th birthday
I notice her toes, crooked on her feet from beating the soles

My God
How I can’t keep up with her
Her i’s and j’s are missing dots
And I am missing her

We walk along the bridge, inner-city castaways
Always moving forward this wreckage for history
Looking back at the damage we do by inches
Only to have the wool run slack over our eyes

My God
How I can’t keep up with her
Her i’s and j’s are missing dots
And I am

My God
How I can’t follow her where she is gone
Past the bar where the water runs rough
And I am missing her

My God
How I can’t keep up with her
Her i’s and j’s are missing dots
And I am

My God
How I can’t follow her where she is gone
Past the bar where the water runs rough
And I am
I am missing her
. . .

(Adapted from ‘The Distance of the Moon’
by Italo Calvino)

I still look for her
Lying on a beach
Directly over our heads
And she says nothing
She is the color of the moon
She holds a harp at her side and moves
One hand, now and again
In slow arpeggios

Lyrics by John Allen and Evan Bailey
