With her Spanish candles and her Persian poems
Struck on the rocks and sighed Opus 40 stoned
"I'm alive," she cried, but I don't know what it means
Nights alone by your side
Nights alone by your side
Catskill mansions, buried dreams
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Tears in waves, minds on fire
But somewhere out there across the moonlit sands
She collapses down upon the ocean floor again
And slamming her eyes, locking the door
She collapses down upon the ocean floor again
There's a line drawn like the lines on her own hand
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Tears in waves, minds on fire
And scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
