Let’s Open The Wine
Saturday. What will the day bring? I have a vague notion. What is possible? Who will circumstance bring my way? What will we fashion by means of words, and by the visceral body language of encounter?
Shall we join the dance! A song to energize the way for us. Jesse by Carly Simon.
Oh mother, say a prayer for meJesse’s back in town, it won’t be easyDon’t let him near meDon’t let him touch meDon’t let him please me
Jesse, I won’t cut fresh flowers for you, noJesse, I won’t make the wine cold for you, noJesse, I won’t change the sheets for youI won’t put on cologneI won’t sit by the phone for you
Annie, keep reminding meThat he cut out my heart like a paper dollSally, tell me once againHow he set me up just to see me fall
Jesse, I won’t cut fresh flowers for you, noJesse, I won’t make the wine cold for you, noJesse, I won’t change the sheets for youI won’t put on cologneI won’t sit by the phone for you, no, no, no
Jesse, quick come hereI won’t tell a soulNot even myselfJesse, that you’ve come back to meMy friends will all say, “She’s gone again”But how can anyone know what you are to meThat I’m in Heaven again because you’ve come back to meOh Jessie
Jesse, I’ll always cut fresh flowers for youJesse, I’ll always make the wine cold for you, noJesse, I can easily change my mind about youAnd put on cologneAnd sit by the phone for you
Jesse, let’s open the wineAnd drink to the heartWhich has a will of its ownMy friends, let’s comfort themThey’re feeling badThey think I’ve sunk so low
Jesse, I’ll always cut fresh flowers for youJesse, I’ll always make the wine cold for youJesse, I will change the sheets for youPut on cologneAnd I will wait by the phone for youOh Jesse
Jesse, I will cut fresh flowers for youJesse, I will make the wine cold for youJesse, I will change the sheets for youI will put you on cologne
