Piano at night.


Why don't you sit down and play piano for me for a while?

and I'll sit here,

take my boots off,

drink this wine

here's a glass for you we'll just leave the lamp on.

Your notes through the darkness,

and our halo-ed house

smell of rain after a hot day.


Here's the red and white tea-towel you can wipe the sweat from your fingers with,

and I'll sit here

on this thick wooden chair that wobbles

if you let it,

you don't have to play anything big any old thing will do

it's really about you

not the music,


you and me and this night you smile when your fingers touch those keys.
