I Heard Her Saying Something

Lyrics:

I met her in an old hotel
Where the drains didn’t work
She was looking for Prince Valiant
I was just a royal jerk

I saw her face once in a painting

Water backed up quietly in the lines
Or was it conversation
Coming through the open window
Like a holy visitation

I sketched a map of her from memory
But didn’t have a legend or a key

I heard her saying something
Maybe reciting poetry?
Maybe telling someone her real name
I want to repeat it constantly

For her I launched a thousand boats
Right into the castle moat

I heard her saying something
