recuerdo - jonathan dove lyrics

we were very tired, we were very merry —
we had gone back and forth all night on the ferry
it was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable —
but we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table
we lay on a hill*top underneath the moon;
and the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon
we were very tired, we were very merry —
we had gone back and forth all night on the ferry
and you ate an apple, and i ate a pear
from a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
and the sky went wan, and the wind came cold
and the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold
we were very tired, we were very merry
we had gone back and forth all night on the ferry
we hailed, “good morrow, mother!” to a shawl*covered head
and bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;
and she wept, “god bless you!” for the apples and pears
and we gave her all our money but our subway fares
