Watch Her Disappear Lyrics - Alice (the Original Demos) - Tom Waits

Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you 

And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress 

Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair 

That rose in strangled ebony curls 

Moving in a yellow bedroom light 

The air is wet with sound 

The faraway yelping of a wounded dog 

And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak 

Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat 

A light goes on and the door opens 

And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard

A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air 

I hear your champagne laugh 

You wear two lavender orchids 

One in your hair and one on your hip 

A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk 

Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo 

And I hear a banjo tango 

Photos 

And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree 

And I watched you as you disappeared 

I watched you as you disappeared 

I watched you as you disappeared 

I watched you as you disappeared
