My mother would dance sometimes |
| [00:46.60] |
Believing herself alone |
| [00:51.41] |
But through a slightly open door |
| [00:56.62] |
I would watch her as she turned |
| [01:01.83] |
Turned round, round, |
| [01:05.92] |
Briefly unbound |
| [01:10.73] |
|
| [01:21.61] |
My mother played and sang sometimes |
| [01:26.53] |
Believing herself alone |
| [01:31.38] |
But through a slightly open door |
| [01:36.79] |
I could see her face upturned |
| [01:42.56] |
Songs long learned |
| [01:46.34] |
So long untuned |
| [01:52.26] |
|
| [02:41.65] |
I was her only audience |
| [02:46.87] |
She believes herself alone |
| [02:51.52] |
My applause should have been rapturous |
| [02:56.53] |
But I close the door |
| [03:01.25] |
And turned, turned away |
