He took a book down off the shelf
But didn’t recognize the title
Where did it come from
This mystery story
Full of things he didn’t say couldn’t understand
A visiting stranger forgotten lover old friend
All gone now every one
Shivering stars tell another story
You can see why they like it here
In the quiet
Everybody looks good to someone
Heads filled with chances
Where do all these melodies belong
All these words I hear are not my own
Talking voices seem to intertwine
The music’s fading is it in my mind
