I wait at the table,
And hold hands with weeping strangers,
Wait for you
To join the group.
The tambourine jingle-jangles.
The medium roams and rambles.
Not taken in,
I break the circle.
I want this man
To go away now.
With a kiss
I`d pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receiving.
With your spit
Still on my lip,
You hit the water.
Him and I in the room
To prove you are with us too.
He`s using code that only you and I know.
This is no trick of his.
This is your magic.
I`d catch the cues,
Watching you,
Hoping you`d do something wrong.
Everybody thinks you`ll never make it,
But every time,
You escape:
`Rosabel believe,
Not even eternity
Can hold Houdini!`
Rosabel, believe!
Through the glass
I`d watch you breathe.
(Not even eternity--)
Bound and drowned,
And paler than you`ve ever been.
(--will hold Houdini!)
With your life
The only thing in my mind--
We pull you from the water!
(Houdini!)
You
(Hou-di-ni...)
And I
And Rosabel believe.
