作曲 : Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan
  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
