  Desire session 4, Columbia Studio E, NYC - 30.jul.1975  

Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky
I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
And then i turn my head for you're approachin' me
Moonlight on the water
Fisherman's daughter
Floatin' into my room
With a golden loom.

First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste
And then you drift away
On a summer's day
Where the wild flowers bloom
With your golden loom.

I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
And then i kiss your lips as i lift your veil
But you're gone and then
All i seem to recall
Is the smell of perfume
And your golden loom.
