lyrics

OH DAISY, DON’T YOU KNOW?

There’s the reticent woman
With her reminiscent man
Recalling the vague, beautiful images
Of being drunken on the sand
And in the clubs and the cafes
La Belle Vie! Vite, Vite my man
Consumed in the mystique of the dotted nighttime
And the water’s soothing hand
Oh Daisy, don’t you know the hour is near?
When we’ve got to pack up our bags and get out of here
How she looks like an angel
‘Neath the brown leaves a fallin’
She smells like the outdoors comin’ inside
Off a deep, autumn wind
She’s bundled up tight
‘Neath the smoggy New York lights
And she says,
“Hey, do you remember those delightful, drunken nights?”
Oh Daisy, don’t you know the hour is near?
When we’ve got to pack up our bags and get out of here
She’s stumblin’ on the avenue
Envisioning that wide, foreign sea
She’s lost in the pizzicato strings
That played such a spare melody
He says, “It was splendid back then
The wretched charm of this place is wearing thin
Let’s get on with this
Let’s be expatriates again”
Oh Daisy, don’t you know our departing hour is near?
Those days when we were young and bold are so far away from here
