Charlotte's Conversations - Stephen Duffy, Nigel Kennedy

Autumn rhythm, sweet submission

And the cheekbones you bequeathed

Is it over?

Is it ever?

Till they sell the air they breathed

The stars are dead although they still shine

In Charlotte’s conversations

Love’s old sweet song

The epilogue to Charlotte’s conversations

I learnt insanity and sweet vanity

Cases related to history

Did I choose this?

Now can I lose this?

Selfish blues to posterity

You don’t need a book to read

You don’t need a song to sing

You don’t need a book to read

You don’t need me

Was it only empty pockets

That brought me here to you?

From the back room to the honeymoon suite

The sour perfection grew
