YOU'LL FIND ME IN A BERLIN BAR

WV1449:2009

The Saxophone Girl...

Coloured pencil and gouache on Steinbach paper

 

"You'll find me in a Berlin bar in a corner, brooding

You know that I go very quiet when I'm listening to you

There's something special indeed

There's something special indeed

 

In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy

Something very real in how I feel, honey

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone

 

The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing

Shadows from your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor

The stars that climb from her bowels

Those stars make towers on vowels

 

You'll never see that you had all of me

You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me

Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly

Never known or felt in myself so rightly

 

It's in me

It's in me

And you know it's for real

Tuning in on your saxophone..."

 

THE SAXOPHONE SONG - Kate Bush, 1978.
