Girl sleeping on a mansion roof

under a wintery sky

Wrapped she is in furs and sable,

starlight in her eye

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

Four o'clock on a marble morning,

water pouring on her skin

In fever her life bursts open

and a hurricane blows in

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

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

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

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
