lyrics

VALERIE
Picture this
deserted alley
a girl adrift alone amid the snow

GENE/ VALERIE/ BRENDAN
picture this
her gray haired grandma
the only one who said i love you so

it’s a vision in the matchlight
flickering and floating

VALERIE
so much kindness in her grandma’s loving eyes

ALL
and she knows it’s only moments
til the match burns out forever
and this luminary vision fades and dies

picture this
an apron full of matches
a world of indifference
and a single loving face

GENE
it’s her grandma gently rocking
it’s her grandma gently rocking
it’s her grandma gently rocking her to sleep

GENE/ BRENDAN
and the match is quickly burning
and the match is quickly burning
and the match is quickly burning very low

ALL
and the light is disappearing
and the light is disappering
and the light is disappearing and she says
(segue to Caution To The Wind)
