Alejandro Escovedo Sacramento & Polk
The moon is brighter than the sun My shadow is longer at night as I drive your way The trees hang from the branches The moon hangs from the sky Waters lies flat in the gutter While a rose climbs up the staircase And falls upon the landing And falls upon the landing And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
She really is breathtaking as she lies there softly sleeping Undisturbed, and I wish, And I wish my breath, my voice, my touch Could awaken her Yeah, awaken her again I'm under a spell her name Oh, I spell her name I'm under a spell her name
There really is no reason fro the way that I am feeling It could've been the weather Or something less than that I need to shed this old skin for something that's much lighter Maybe different colors Maybe not so tight I'm under a spell her name Oh, I spell her name I'm under a spell her name
It singes and it burns like a delicate veil The pressure of her kiss Feels like it's all over now I never could jump from high enough I never could jump from high enough A third story jump ain't high enough It's just a mess on Market St. I'm under a spell her name Oh, I spell her name I'm under a spell her name
Palo Alto Hotel at Sacramento and Polk The neighbors spend their days Washing their socks and staring out the windows In a thorazine haze They don't know what to do with their hands They vaguely remember some plans But that was so long ago I'm under a spell her name Oh, I spell her name I'm under a spell her name
