I remember how we sneaked
up to the bedsit.
"Don't wake up the grandma", you said,
"Leave your shoes in the hallway."
And you made us tea
the Oriental way.
"Do you believe in the supernatural?" you asked,
"Do you believe in telepathy?"
(refrain):
Under the starlamp,
there on the bedbrim,
once we kissed,
oh I believed in miracles.
We listened for messages
from the noise of the radio
and tried to move the table
with the power of our minds.
Behind the wall the grandma
continued coughing.
We had overly developed senses,
she didn't hear anything at all.
(refrain)
How did I remember you now
after so many years?
The smell of your hand lotion
I guess I found wafting somewhere.
Or did something maybe happen
that was larger than life?
Do you remember when we played
Telepathy?
refrain (3x)
