Lyrics
Sometimes, usually in the Fall,
out there in the blue midnight air,
the fragrance of your rose perfume
drifts into the room like a dream.
Are you there, in the whisper of the night,
crackle in the embers of the dying firelight?
I can almost hear you
out there on the wind
calling out to me...
Eileen, darling how I tried
tried to leave it all, all behind--
the vineyards and the souvenirs,
all the months and years you've been gone...
Oh Eileen, you're a cloud crossing the sun,
jump cut to an engine, reverse to a gun,
a shimmer in the violet just before the dawn,
a still life of the sea...
Eileen...
