Copenhagen

Lyrics

Several years ago A day in early spring In a Copenhagen bar I heard a skylark sing In a slow speed silent movie There's a snow kissed winter scene Your pretty face is glistening with tears In that half remembered moment Silent and serene The town hall bells are chiming down the years A simple pack of crayons A pavement master class On a city center street Our fortunes came to pass They washed away your cartoons In the Copenhagen rain You were drifting in the mull Of broken dreams A thin veneer of laughter Hid the tantrums and the pain A photograph is seldom what it seems Magic as in lantern pastel colors bright Treading through the blossom In the softly fading light A cutting from a paper On the entertainment page It's good to catch the ink Before it dries The audience was drawn To a Tivoli Garden stage Our future passed before us Through their eyes
