[ALICE]
A little talk could hold me for a little while
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little life remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child

[ALFRED]
I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from the room of hurt
We knew the world of summer
Like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard

[ALFRED]
We fell down a

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Hole

[ALFRED]
Don't you

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Remember

[ALFRED]
We fell so fall
[ALFRED & ALICE]
Below
And never found the center

[ALICE]
Another word or

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Two

[ALICE]
And all the summer

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Knew

[ALICE]
In the song of

[ALFRED & ALICE]
The afternoon
Afternoon

[ALICE]
You never play September in a winter game
[ALFRED]
The heart will not remember what it will not name

[ALICE]
The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces

[ALFRED]
But the butterflies go floating all the same

[ALFRED]
We fell down a

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Hole

[ALFRED]
Don't you

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Remember

[ALFRED]
We fell so fall

[ALFRED & ALICE]
Below
We never found the center
[ALICE]
And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
