"...it's a song about longing for something and wishing for something you know you really shouldn't have. Caramel is the metaphor for the thing you long for, but you shouldn't really touch..."

Suzanne Vega

New York Movie, 1939. Edward Hopper.

"...And so a secret kiss

Brings madness with the bliss

And I will think of this

When I'm dead in my grave

Set me adrift and I'm lost over there

And I must be insane

To go skating on your name

And by tracing it twice

I fell through the ice

Of Alice

There's only Alice..."

Unfinished Sympathy

Joyas de la abuela

"...Loverboy, please call me home 

A girl can get lonely out here on the road.."

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
