Lyrics

[00:00] Barcarolle
[00:06.56]
[00:08.24] A cloud lets go of the moon
[00:14.68] Her ribbons are all out of tune
[00:21.81] She is skating on the ice in a glass
[00:27.12] in the hands of a man
[00:31.12] That she kissed on a train
[00:37.27] And the children are all gone into town
[00:42.62] to get candy and we are alone in the house here
[00:51.43] And your eyes fall down on me
[01:00.12]
[01:00.42] And I belong only to you
[01:05.87] The water is filling my shoes
[01:13.06] In the wine of my heart there's a stone
[01:18.55] In a well made of bone
[01:22.18] That you bring to the pond
[01:27.87] And I'm here in your pocket
[01:31.81] curled up in a dollar
[01:35.37] And the chain from your watch
[01:39.06] around my neck
[01:42.71] And I'll stay right here until it's time...
[01:54.19]
[02:36.40] The girls all knit in the shade
[02:42.95] before the baby is made
[02:50.01] And the branches bend down to the ground
[02:55.54] here to swing on
[02:57.66] I'm lost in the blond summer grass
[03:04.89] And the train whistle blows
[03:08.58] And the carnival goes
[03:11.97] Till there's only the tickets and crows
[03:19.64] And the grass will all grow back
[03:31.14]
[03:34.84] And the branches spell "Alice"
[03:38.36] And I belong only to you
[03:54.33]
