Canyon Inn, Room Sixteen Lyrics

your hourglass shape in the light half covered in cloth
the rest untouched .
thinking i don't feel like being a sentimentalist today
and whispering wake up, wake up, the rain is slowing.

"i was faced with a three headed cyclops in the
south seas, no place for cucumber trees.
and oceans of wine! no place for me"Little Joe Gould - Canyon Inn, Room Sixteen - http://motolyrics.com/little-joe-gould/canyon-inn-room-sixteen-lyrics.html
"what happened in the story?"
"what?"
"in the sultan's palace... did you escape? were you killed"
"i don't know... it was all a long time ago"

touching a hand to a head the static of the radio humming
someone humming something pretty off where the antenna just can't reach.
