Intro Verse: 1 Girl sleeping on a mansion roof Under a wintery sky Wrapped she is in her furs and sable Starlight in her eye Verse: 2 And what is the name of this creature? Where did she live and when? Who was she and why was it That Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn? Verse: 3 Four o'clock in a marble morning Water pouring on her skin In fever, her life bursts open And a hurricane blows in Verse: 4 When high from the dreams of this creature A thief on a horse descends It was dawn and it was December And Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn Instrumental: Verse: 5 It was all of a windy day And the sky was full of crows When her lovely soul ascended She just closed her heart and rose Verse: 6 And whither the soul of this creature? Tell me the story again Of scarves and songs and the skin of space And how Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn Instrumental: Verse: 7 I would dive in a freezing river Set fire to a hundred men If I could, for just one time Love somebody the way that he loved Beverly Penn Outro:
