Philip Glass

Every time I see you
You’re a little different
Nothing very different
Just a little different

To the naked eye
It can be deceiving
But you’re always shifting
Changing just a little

Sometimes its your clothes
Sometimes your expression
Sometimes something that you’ve
Hidden in your pocket

Every single measure
One note will have altered
One note will have shifted
Like a piece by

Philip Glass, Philip Glass
Philip Glass, Philip Glass

Tuesday afternoon
There was something strange
In the way you touched me
I could not explain it.

Wednesday afternoon
You had on a hat
I had never seen
It was disconcerting

Thursday afternoon
You were still in bed
You were smoking Camels
You were wearing nothing

Friday afternoon
You were humming something
It was reminiscent
Of a piece by

Philip Glass, Philip Glass
Philip Glass Philip Glass

You never repeat yourself
You must get bored easily
Different pattern every night
Every night a different song, like

Philip Glass, Philip Glass

You never duplicate yourself
You must get bored instantly
Different partner every night
Every night a different bed

When I think I know you
You decide to move
Three degrees from center
Just enough to throw me
Every time I see you
You’re a little different just a little different
Hardly very different
Like a piece by

Philip Glass, Philip Glass
Philip Glass Philip Glass
