lyrics

the tide is counting down to midnight
now it's all out of our control
i throw a photograph in the canal and watch
as it drifts off in a helpless barcarolle
venice really may be sinking
though it sure doesn't feel that way tonight
the boats are holding fast to a day that's long since passed
and to an evening floating further out of sight

i left you on the bridge of sighs
and i thought once more of our last dance
how you stood on my feet when you didn't know the steps
but you never really stood a chance

my brother stares out of the window
and there's no telling what he sees
the morning will be quieter in padova
where the stars have all been swept by the breeze
sitting on the steps of the station
with a book and a bottle of champagne
toasting to the end of nothing in particular
and the beginning of more of the same

i left you on the bridge of sighs
and i thought once more of our last dance
how you stood on my feet when you didn't know the steps
but you never really stood a chance

sospiri

about

Matthew Connor image

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
