Joseph Cornell - The Clientele

Why do hummingbirds just hum their

Loneliness to me?

151 or 145

Or twice times 123

If we’re on Delancey Street at night

In the after-train-ride quiet

Barking dogs by Highgate Pond

Something’s here but something’s gone

What a night for talking, darling

What a night for dreams

151 or 145

Or twice times 123

This is all I really know tonight

Something’s wrong but something’s right

Barking dogs by Highgate Pond

Something’s here but something’s gone

If we’re on Delancey Street at night

In the after-train-ride quiet

Barking dogs by Highgate Pond

Something’s here but something’s gone
