waltz for the yearning

threw up in the hotel de france in downtown vienna
glass chandeliers in every room
cappucino st. stephen and his cathedral
still spinning round inside my head
the ferris wheel is turning out a waltz for the yearning
but the past just slips away fast so i move slowly on
as a parade heel then slap
one by one they ascend and descend outside the door

dressed all in black
st. james in a bottle at my back
i'm left with the morning and a new song to remember tonight

sleep in peace for we'll still fight
when everyone has gone
just step out into the light
and you'll never ever be alone
and don't forget to remember...
me

  2. As in Roddy? I'd love to hear it. If you haven't already done so, you should record it. Do you at least have a 4-track version you could send me? I haven't hear any new songs from you in a long time.
