The White Album

PROGRAM NOTE

Text (after The Beatles):

A song, a song, a song, a song...
Hey, Martha—you can see them!
So I sing a song of love—who knows?
Mother Superior! Blackbird!
Who knows a song?
All day long, all day long...
Hey, Bungalow— What did you kill?
Bullet!
Bullet-headed!
Bullet-headed Saxon Mother!
All-American bullet-headed Saxon Mother!
Blackbird singing in the dead of night...
While my guitar—
Who knows how long I’ve loved you?
You know I love you still,
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to I will.
Who knows, who knows,
Who knows, who knows?

— Gabriel Kahane, 2023
