Romance Sonambulo Disappointment Quotes

Sorry there, "all things" in the world. It looks like you might be kind of hung up on that green girl up there on her balcony, but, well, she can't see you. Better luck next time. At least the speaker is not alone in his unrequited affections. Do you think that makes him feel better, though?

You know, we're beginning to wonder about that green gypsy girl. She spends an awful amount of time up there on her balcony, just disappointing folks like our poor speaker who, while he knows she's up there, just can't reach her.

Everything's jerked out from under him again by a bunch of drunken, loutish cops. Way to go fellas. What's that? You've got a package for me? A big box of disappointment, eh? And it's cash-on-delivery? Yeah, that figures…
