lyrics

You arrive to introductions and sit down in quiet exultation
lost in the danger and mystery of learning a new name.

Across the table you have eyes on a girl and a smile, and she reminds you
that all real living happens in bars with people that you don’t know.
And everything else can go.

And you’ve seen the TV shows
with pictures of stars and pictures of planets, seen pictures of Io
the fourth moon of Jupiter, stark and in transit crossing a violent sky.
And you feel like you want to cry.

Then, in a movement that she misses you place your hand on top of hers.
A shock of nerves runs to her brain as she tries to give this a name.

Surprised at yourself, this isn’t like you, and leading outside, you chance a kiss.
And she isn’t sure that she wants this, but kisses you all the same.
She kisses you in the rain.

And she’s seen the TV shows
with pictures of stars and pictures of planets, seen pictures of Io
the fourth moon of Jupiter, stark and in transit crossing a violent sky.
She thinks it’s all by the by
and you feel like you want to cry.

The greatest pain will come from learning
that nothing you know can stop this yearning...
