watch her disappear - tom waits lyrics

last night i dreamed that i was dreaming of you
and from a window across the lawn i watched you undress
wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
that rose in strangled ebony curls
moving in a yellow bedroom light
the air is wet with sound
the faraway yelping of a wounded dog
and the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
a light goes on and the door opens
and a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard
a wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
i hear your champagne laugh
you wear two lavender orchids
one in your hair and one on your hip
a string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
and i hear a banjo tango
and you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
and i watched you as you disappeared
i watched you as you disappeared
i watched you as you disappeared
i watched you as you disappeared

- tom waits lyrics
