Pergola

Instrumental Intro

Verse

Archivist queries a reticent respondent

She exhales

Recounts a pergola where jasmine clambered

Unruly

A ledger of grievances penned in graphite

Somebody coughs

She concedes the account is inexact

Pre-Chorus

Ask again

Ask it gentler

Chorus

Pergola summers

Pergola rain

You misremember

I misrelate

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Verse

Interviewer shuffles a folder

Pages adhere

He posits a quarrel concerning a skiff

A skiff

She demurs

Dismisses the premise as piffle

Her jaw tightens

Concedes the account is inexact

Pre-Chorus

Ask again

Ask it gentler

Chorus

Pergola summers

Pergola rain

You misremember

I misrelate

Bridge

Recount it

Recount it

Recount it slow

Where did the jasmine go

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Pergola summers

Pergola rain

You misremember

I misrelate

Outro

Recount it slow
