lyrics

When the dawn peeks its head over night's wide shoulder
I know it is time for me to be one day older
As light draws me slowly home through the city mountains
I stop to make wishes in waterless fountains

Glacier Lady
Sits on the buffet
Gently drips away

Features fade
Face down the body
Drenching the pâté, filling the plates
Spilling: a woman waterfall

Rising below the tiring night
Waking the aching feet with delight
Soaking up brightening chandelier light
Watering breathtaken instrument lungs
Wetting the panting saxophone tongues
Higher we climb on black and white ballroom rungs

Glacier Lady
Sits on the buffet
Gently drips away

She pours under doors and out through window tops
Sopping the city, sprouting sky-bound crops
Evening begins as soon as the dreaming stops
Citizens waken with quick inhalations
That float them to surface amidst constellations
Bathing in history, time's slow rotations
