i wait for you at the desk beside
the long fogged window of the cabin in the woods
i see you beautiful and sad
and not yet here and yet not here
while this mid-may evening never ends
and never ends but is slowly dimming
the path beside the stone row where i
can see you beautiful and sad as you draw near
and i am reassured you are coming yes
all night i wait at the cabin desk beside
the webster's second open to the m's
your absence makes you beautiful and sad
come now do not come come now do not
and lead me to the desk deep within the hidden woods
where you undress beside the webster's open to the m's
where we will stay forever come now do not yes
