Venetian Red Lyrics

I dreamt that I met you

In a grocery store

Not sure what for

A scent faintly striking

Of Naugahyde

Walking side by side

You, you grabbed my hand

And so we ran

Down the frozen food section

Fast we tripped and tumbled

Flat on the floor

In fluorescent glow

In the refrigerator light

We laughed all night

Passerby's complaining

When I looked ahead

You were outlined in Venetian red

An Antiquity painting

I dreamt that I met you

In the cemetery

Amongst wild strawberries

And we wandered

In hidden sun

Reading epitaphs one by one

In the mausoleum

You talked about

The beauty of never figuring it out

And the look you gave me

Helped to understand

The fidget of your hands

In the refrigerator light

We laughed all night

Passerby's complaining

When I looked ahead

You were outlined in Venetian red

An Antiquity painting

And I wonder if you dreamt

The same dream as me that night

And when you smell plastic furnishing

Do you think of us in fluorescent light

I love you but I don't know you

But I adore the illusion of what we said

And when I lay on the cold tile floor

I think of us in Venetian red

In the refrigerator light

We laughed all night

Passerby's complaining

When I looked ahead

You were outlined in Venetian red

An Antiquity painting

In the refrigerator light

We laughed all night

Passerby's complaining

When I looked ahead

You were outlined in Venetian red

An Antiquity painting
