LyricMeaning

Penny
Vagabond Opera

I'm at your window
A penny on the pavement Saturday night
The moon is a red lantern
Dripping a silver wax path to your door

The soldiers woke him up that night
Strings of banjo, sugar cane
Played so sweetly, fireflies
The stars sang Seibert's old refrain

But now, la vie, don't sail away
Your minstrel breeze grow long to me
I will find your port again
I will wait like Rosencrantz
for Godot

I'm at your window
My face swimming in a glass like light
and you pay me a haiku
of cherry blossom shimmering light

She had no time for any life
and left on bleak and summer's day
Oh dog strikes eagles fireflies
Rice paper clouds and grey mache

But now, la vie, don't sail away
I stake my case, let this song burn
I will find your port again
I will wait like Guildenstern

[bridge]

I'm at your window
A penny on the pavement Saturday night
The moon is a red lantern
Dripping a silver wax path to your door

Please don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
