lyrics
I am Juliet
Who did not die
But awoke to a world,
Weightier and worse
Who wandered the nightscape alone
To follow the hearse;
Who walked to the alter
Red with sorrow
Soaking from rain
Outside the blowing gale,
And I am Orpheus
And long have I sung
In the underworld
To no avail.
But I have been privy to something true,
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue.
Julia and I were out in the evening
With lipstick on and
She wrote me a letter
And this is her song
With Saskia, we supped on dumplings,
Gleaned the star shined streets
Of pennies for our thoughts
And feasts of Chinese sweets
And we belonged to bright time
A-stepped out from the cold
And shy against the sky-line
All feather-wrought, yolk gold
And nothing can get better
But I am stumbling through
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
You, my love, were up with the gulls
While I lay, somnolence and curls
While I lay breathing dreaming breaths
You took the outside's icy kiss
And now you sleep forever
And I in bright unrest
Will try to be your eyes, my love
And only see the best
And all the splendid times that will probably ensue,
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
And I am not alone now
For this is the whole world's tune
And many things are touched and told
Beneath the visiting moon
And the ever endless erstwhile
And beyond, the copious slew,
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue.
