Sam Austin
the opening number of the pop opera LIGHT OF DAY, setting the stage for an evening of confessions and revelations
We have been living in a dream
An object of desire haunts my thoughts
On losing the love of your life
I'm waiting for you at the Village piano bar where we met
Busting out of the friend zone
Day drinking and pondering lost youth
This act is going nowhere
A secret love is moving on
Waking up from jerkhood
Regarding that well-dressed man at the bar
You are my lifeblood, in translation from: https://youtu.be/8r0sBhCi2MU?si=gcYrwD1ACbu_qOMk
A secret love is moving on, in two languages with no back-up singers
Traditions stronger than time
Visions of Christmas joy, behind the wheel
How could I know?
Cityfolk see behind fancy airs
Improvising a floor show while your roommate tries to write a paper
