The Signal Lyrics & Tabs by Elizabeth Shepherd
The Signal
guitar chords lyrics
New York; my birthday, 1988.
4th day, 12th hour on the 10th month;
room 23 at the Algonquin Hotel…
I remember the sound of your suede leather shoes;
we were one with the world that day.
We'll meet once again, we said -
but only if the memory doesn't fade.
Paris, the Eiffel Tower
Noon, 10th month -
noon, same date,
My birthday falls on a Wednesday that year;
Remember
the sound of my footsteps,
the Eiffel Tower will be quiet.
and I'll be sure to wear the same suede leather shoes.
the sound of my footsteps,
the Eiffel Tower will be quiet.
and I'll be sure to wear the same suede leather shoes.
and I will know the sound, the sound
the sound of your footsteps.
I'm so tired; whose idea was this anyway?
Paris, 2 kids – always the planning…
Noon, 10th month
When did it change -
the story of us?
it's the day.
Can I choose? You used to let me choose, but then –
Maybe she's changed her hair
I didn't have to choose, because you knew already.
It's gotta be time for lunch.
It's time…
Is anyone else hungry?
It's time.
Let's go now -
Noon,
There's nothing more
Let's go now
Wait;
How could I be
never mind.
so silly to think
I know, I know, I know
that the sound -
I know that sound
that the sound of a footstep -
I know that sound…
After all these years…
