If you see the accordion girl
Better walk the other way
Underneath the viaduct
Might be where you’ll hear her play,
If you see the accordion girl
I’ll give you some advice
Avoid her eyes
And walk away
And I lie in the night and I listen
And I want to hear her play
And I lie in the night and I listen
If you see the accordion girl
Walking by the perfumed river
Tell me is she on her own,
Tell me is there someone with her,
Where the grapes hang thick on the vine
And far behind the faint stars shine
And fall like pearls of alien corn
That break in waves against my door
If you see the accordion girl…
