Just listen.
Haven't done half the things we wanted --
There's so much more embracing
still to be done, but time is racing
O well --
Never have seen you do the dishes --
Seeing you there without your make up --
O well, we'll catch up / some other time
Just when the fun is starting / Comes the time for parting --
But let's be glad / for what we've had / and what's to come --
O well --
we'll catch up
some
other
time

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
