Lyrics

They float in seeming silence We see glass and dream the rest So the film opens, and how many, ten, eleven years ago we sat in the cold, dark air watching the screen, hands touching and dreaming the rest
 
We lived 400 miles apart. but something was kept, A rosebud in a cooler, through the glass
 
Three years ago at Christmas you had gone to Peru, Gone grey and robust and more blue-eyed than ever. I reached into your sleeping bag and felt your warm skin, said "let's have an affair," in the driveway while you packed your car In the summer you sent me a card from Ishpeming
 
In the end the lovers drive the turtles to the sea. They swim through the ethers and become unseen
 
In memory of Paul Denn.
