HOPPER PAINTING
(Janis Ian)

THOUGHT I SAW YOU DANCING
ON THE TABLES LATE LAST NIGHT
HIGH ROMANCING WITH SOME COLLEGE KID
THOUGHT I SAW YOU WALTZING
IN THE BLUE-GREY BISTRO GLOOM
THOUGHT I SAW YOU DANCING
DID YOU SEE ME, TOO?

I'M THE ONE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
YOU PAINTED YESTERDAY
A HIGH RELIEF REFLECTION
OF YOUR PROMISES AND PAINv SEE ME DISAPPEARINGv LIKE A SHADOW AT HIGH NOONv I WILL FOLLOW WHEN YOU WANT ME TO

THOUGHT I SAW YOU WRITING
LIKE AN OUTLAW ON THE DUNES
LOOKING LOST IN THE AFTERNOON
COOL PRETENDER,
WITH YOUR POETRY AND BLUES
I REMEMBER WHAT IT COST JUST BEING YOU

NOW THE TAROTC ARDS ARE NUMBERED
AND THE DECK IS MADE OF GLASS
THE DEALER'S MADE A BARGAIN WITH HIS SOUL
I THOUGHT I SAW YOU TREMBLING
AS YOU THREW IT ALL AWAY
THOUGHT I SAW YOU DANCING
BUT THE NIGHT HAD TURNED TO DAY

I'M THE ONE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
YOU PAINTED YESTERDAY
A COOL REFLECTION
OF YOUR PROMISES AND PAIN
BELIEVE IN ME
BEFORE YOU THROW IT ALL AWAY
BELIEVE IN ME? I KNOW THE WAY
