Listen all your lovers[00:00:41]

And would be lovers to my tale[00:00:45]

The moral of the story is not hidden[00:00:51]

Though there are some lies[00:01:00]

Along the way to disguise the details[00:01:03]

The broad stroke of this picture[00:01:08]

Shall render it's true meaning[00:01:15]

I first collided with Geraldine[00:01:30]

On a Tuesday I believe[00:01:34]

It was so very long ago[00:01:39]

Still I remember[00:01:42]

She just drifted by my window[00:01:48]

While I was pretending to be me[00:01:52]

Not yet realizing[00:01:57]

I was already forever changed[00:01:59]

By seeing her[00:02:03]

Into the cafe on the street[00:02:07]

Where the faux French[00:02:11]

Girls fake their slang[00:02:13]

While trying to sink[00:02:17]

Their teeth into each other[00:02:19]

And all of them so dainty[00:02:26]

They must fan themselves all day[00:02:30]

Claiming the breath of the walking[00:02:36]

Deathly homesick G I[00:02:39]

Sufferers[00:02:42]

Geraldine sat alone of course[00:02:50]

Nobody knew her name[00:02:54]

But I watched her from[00:02:59]

A field of wallflowers[00:03:01]

I can't remember why I ever started hanging[00:03:08]

Around that place[00:03:14]

All anybody ever did was[00:03:18]

Dream of dreary California[00:03:21]

The second time I saw Geraldine[00:03:27]

She asked me for a light[00:03:32]

She was trying to read a map[00:03:36]

In a shattered doorway[00:03:40]

I asked where she was running to[00:03:46]

Or from or was it who[00:03:50]

She asked if I was talking back[00:03:55]

Or moving forward[00:04:01]

Soon we were doing everything[00:04:49]

We could do to fall in love[00:04:53]

We tumbled from the trees into the water[00:04:58]

For awhile we were as close[00:05:07]

As the light bulb and the moth[00:05:11]

Bouncing off a wall as it grew hotter and hotter[00:05:17]

But one day I was tempted[00:05:26]

By a fleeting song I heard[00:05:30]

Whispered from the mouth of a passing stranger[00:05:35]

Who said everything happens[00:05:44]

For a reason and I deferred[00:05:49]

Not yet realizing[00:05:53]

I was already very much in danger[00:05:55]

The walls were yellow and thin[00:06:08]

And there was no window I could open[00:06:11]

And she just laughed into her pillow[00:06:15]

Until she cried[00:06:21]

And because it was a loathsome thing[00:06:23]

I did it once again[00:06:31]

With a mirth that was disposable[00:06:35]

And a lament I couldn't hide[00:06:40]

When the stranger disappeared[00:06:45]

I couldn't stomach my face[00:06:48]

What will I do now[00:06:54]

That I have betrayed Geraldine[00:06:57]

I cowered through the market[00:07:03]

And purchased every angry grape[00:07:07]

And made a wine so bitter[00:07:12]

Even the drunkards appeared clean[00:07:16]

I woke up on a Sunday[00:07:26]

And Geraldine was boiling milk[00:07:30]

You've been far away[00:07:35]

She said as if convincing me[00:07:37]

I am further still I said[00:07:44]

Than you may really want to know[00:07:48]

She raised a finger to her lips to say[00:07:54]

I should be listening[00:07:59]

I've been where you stand she said[00:08:03]

Once I was woeful and careless[00:08:06]

But I believe everything[00:08:12]

Happens for a reason[00:08:15]

Well there it is again I thought[00:08:22]

And ready to confess[00:08:26]

But she said[00:08:31]

Only the guilty are ever really innocent[00:08:32]

But she said[00:08:38]

Only the guilty are ever really innocent[00:08:42]
