Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear

Clip from Edouard Locke's film Amelia, dance troupe LaLaLa Human Steps (Quebec Canada). The dancers are Naomi Stikeman and Jason Shipley-Holmes. Original music of the clip was replaced by Tom Waits's song. Thanks to Sarah Jenny ( http://www.sarahjennydesigns.com ) for this info.

Lyrics:
---------
Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard
A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango
And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared...

[544325]

i love the way tom paints with words he is a true artist

[pedritoelcomelon]

It feels like an ancient tale, sacred yet so present. Almost like if you don't hold your breath the magic would disappear.

I'm not sure why, and i know is different but it reminded me a song called La Veillée.

Cheer throught that timeless voice.

The guy narrorating this is a pedophile
