Adrienne Rich - In the Evening lyrics
[Adrienne Rich - In the Evening lyrics]
Three hours chain-smoking words
And you move on we stand in the porch
Two archaic figures: a woman and a man
The old masters, the old sources
Haven't a clue what we're about
Shivering here in the half dark 'sixties
Our minds hover in a famous impasse
And cling together your hand
Grips mine like a railing on an icy night
The wall of the house is bleeding firethorn!
The moon, cracked every-which-way
Pushes steadily on
And you move on we stand in the porch
Two archaic figures: a woman and a man
The old masters, the old sources
Haven't a clue what we're about
Shivering here in the half dark 'sixties
Our minds hover in a famous impasse
And cling together your hand
Grips mine like a railing on an icy night
The wall of the house is bleeding firethorn!
The moon, cracked every-which-way
Pushes steadily on
