One half of an adulterous couple is haunted by a message from beyond the grave in this acoustic guitar driven wistful ballad.

lyrics

THE LIST

A woman from my distant past died earlier this year
In the presence of her family and others she held dear
A letter from her husband informed me she was dead
“She wanted you to have this list,” was all the letter said.

We were lovers in that place where lies and secrets dwell
In the days of coded messages before the towers fell.
She was New York to the core, a fact she liked to stress.
As for my native country, she couldn’t have cared less

I wander through Tribeca now, less sprightly than before
Sometimes I think I see her face outside a certain door
Where I gaze up at a window on the twenty-second floor
And imagine her undressing as she lured me back once more.

She called me Blazes Boylan, I called her Molly Bloom
She left this list of memories from our abandoned room:
She haunts me from beyond the grave, one last Broadway encore
One final bow, a farewell wave: “all’s fair in love and war”.

Making love, faking love
Finding and forsaking love
Building up and breaking love
Enjoying and destroying love
Mournful love, scornful love
Resentful love, repentful love
Capricious love, suspicious love
Delicious love, malicious love
Permissive love, submissive love
Illicit love, complicit love,
Conceitful love, deceitful love
Jaded love, faded love …

Fade away, not fade away
Fade away, not fade away
Fade away, not fade away (Repeat and fade … )
