Everything Disappears

Andy Hill

Everything Disappears

A waitress takes orders
The music is loud
Everyone in the crowd is humming the tune
Only moments ago the colors were bright
And there were stars tonight
Round a soft crescent moon

But everything disappearsI
Everything disappears
Everything disappears
When you walk in the room

Now you’re speaking in riddles
And a cabernet drawl
My expectations they fall
But will rise again soon
With a wink and a reference
And your cartoon smile
I’m left hanging awhile
From a strand of perfume

As everything disappearsI
Everything disappears
Everything disappears
When you walk in the room

Your taxi arrives
There are no good-byes
Still I’m almost surprised
That the night would even dare resume

After everything disappearedI
Everything disappeared
Everything disappeared
When you left the room
