lyrics

What’s to become of Jean?
Her students pile in with their music sheets
The smell of rosin and the tune-up screech
And poor technique - some days can’t end too soon
And old familiar tunes
The Sing Hosanna and the Claire de Lune
Fill empty spaces in old Georgian rooms
Where floorboards creak
As does my ageing pulse this afternoon
In 6/8 time
I feel you move sometimes
I feel your thoughts and your heart meet mine
But words can be so shallow
When music flows to and fro

My notes cling to the stave
Like brooding ravens cawing from the grave
When semi-quavers dance right off her page
How my arms ache
And what’s to become of Jean?
The students saunter home in twos and threes
And giggle past her on Haightsbury street
She’s home at five
Two porcelain dogs say hi
Well, so would I
I feel you move sometimes
I feel your thoughts and your heart meet mine
But words can seem so shallow
When music flows to and fro

I stand and watch cars pass by
Then so do I
I feel you move sometimes
I feel your thoughts and your heart meet mine
Words can seem so hollow
When music flows to and fro
