A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along To a handsome mannered baton A blind cla** aristocracy Back through the op'ra gla** you see The pit and the pendulum drawn Columnated ruins domino! Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn The music hall; a costly bow The music; all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter's swan Columnated ruins domino! Canva** the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping, Brother John? Dove nested towers, the hour was- Strike the street, quicksilver moon! Carriage across the fog- Two-step to lamplight's cellar tune The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne The gla** was raised The fired rose The fullness of the wine The dim-last toasting While at port, adieu or die A choke of grief, heart-hardened I Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry Surf's up, aboard a tidal wave Come about hard and join The young and often spring you gave I heard the word... Wonderful thing... A children's song
