LADY DAY

North winds have made my face a little olderand

my back is bent through trying too hard

My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture

to place upon your white-washed wall

I'd like to stay but you have not asked me

Still I don't really expect you to

Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day

Are we really that far apart

I wish the world could see you now Lady Day

laughing down at your oldest friend

The one who shared just about all he had

in a one-sided love affair

I get scared when I remember too much

Wasted time I suppose you could say that

Strange it don't seem that way to me

But wait a minute

I don't even think you're listening

Just let me tell you how I really feel

I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day

when you wanted to be shown the way

I loved you then as I love ya now girl

"La música expresa la esencia intima del gesto con tan inmediata inteligibilidad que, en cuanto nos encontramos plenamente dentro de la música, esta disminuye nuestra vista para la captación completa del gesto, hasta que finalmente lo comprendemos sin necesidad de verlo"
Wagner, op, cit., vol. IX, p, 77.
