Amsterdam, the first of June 1992      Dear Eric,   Yesterday evening, I came home late   I went to the shelf with the videotapes   I saw the tape of Geneva, March 31 1984   The day we went to the fountain   Flavia you and me      It’s a circle of women   With names that ended with an A   They went away, they went away      Remember you said you wanted   A photograph of the four of us   We watched the fountain, we walked in Geneva    Around the Russian church with the golden onions   We saw a guitar in the window it was great   Like a Picasso painting      It’s a circle of women   With names that ended with an A   They went away, they went away      Now frame by frame   The water fell from the fountain   Today your necklace is broken   The string of pearls the gallery of portraits   The women that ended with an A   The frozen moment of a summer’s day      It was a circle of women   With names that ended with an A   They went away    And that’s ending on Y
