I met you dancing,
french cigarettes in your coat pocket,
palm in palm,
step right, right, left, repeat.
I am another girl dressed as a woman,
reduced to being simple,
I am the cotton skirt I wear, perfectly pleated.
I will marry you under the pear tree,
we will make a daughter and another.
Listen to the tick of the pocket watch,
some holiday gift from your mother's father
it must be time for you to acquire a new taste.
We are a grown, ripened.
I will find a corner in the cellar,
listen to the mandolin player,
and bleed myself dry.
Step right, right, left, repeat.
