lyrics
i awoke this morning
to a phonecall two years late
someone wants me
but i don't go by that name anymore
and rapping at my window
there's a girl of just nineteen
a patient for the patient
i'll wait patiently for she
and when we wake
on a bright summer's day
to find ourselves on our own
i'll hear in her voice
a melody i'll
feel like i've always known
but major moves to minor
on the turning of a key
all my lovers all my lifetimes
variation on a theme
so i'll gather all who'll listen
and i'll ask them when we die
that they make of us a piano
and play us through to the next life
and when we wake
it won't be the same
and i'll find myself on my own
but in one way
our bright summer's day lives on
in the melody that i stole from your song
