| April 8th
Seems to be a sad song of loneliness. The
significance of the title date is unclear. And is there a connection to the songs "Avery Island / April 1st"
or "April 1st"?
There is an early demo version of the song that can
be found on "Unreleased Demo #2".
Available
On Avery Island - album version
"Unreleased Demo #2" - demo version
10/5/96 Other Music, New York, NY (bootleg) - live version
Live
Rarely played live. Only 2 known performances:
10/5/96 NY and (supposedly) 3/7/98 Knitting Factory, NY.
| Lyrics (album
version) Crawl across towards your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late night television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

Lyrics (demo
version) Crawl across towards your window
I'm calling softly from the street
I'm just a lonely widow
Half awake and stranded on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late night television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep
In the middle of a dream
I hear you calling
In the middle of a dream
I hear you calling
In the middle of a dream
I hear you calling... |
