velvet curtain - anna tivel lyrics
i swept up the garbage, the cups and the wrappers
the theater was empty, the crowd had gone home
a circle of dust in the light from the rafters
the wooden broom handle, a microphone
and i sang to the dark rows, all velvet and empty
the curtain majestic, in folds to the floor
i sang so the angels would never forget me
the rush of their robes as they rose up for more
the night circled in like a dog in the alley
all matted and skinny, and face full of hurt
the theater still ringing, with lost dreams of glory
the echoing voices of some brighter world
and i sang to the mezzanine, the gold-painted ceiling
the orchestra spinning, the bright chandelier
i sang so the angels would feel what i’m feeling
an empty so deep, i’m afraid i’m not here
the last note it lingered, the dust settled round me
a silence so heavy, it cut to the bone
and deep in the shadows, the rustle of clapping
i rushed to the back row, still holding the broom
and a man who had crept in, all haggard and dirty
a bag of belongings, and tears in his eyes
i’ll never forget this, he said as he left me
i needed to hear someone singing tonight
