Hi, I have tried using Google,etc to get the lyrics to the song,poem, but cannot find them. Can someone please be nice enough to transcribe them here. Thank you.

To my knowledge, she doesn't have a song called "Dec 1, 1987".

And if you have a song, write the lyrics down yourself. Other people hear it the same as you.

And if you have a song, write the lyrics down yourself..... If I had the song, I wouldn't be asking.

Looking at her discography, I don't see a song w/ that title, so it might be impossible for anyone.

You are right. My mistake. It was actually Cat who mentioned in a post that...Cat actually wrote a song about that night for her unreleased solo album in 1989.
"I've written a song about that for the album. A slow one called 'December 1st 1987' I was there for all that stuff, when it was made, when it didn't come out. I won't ever forget that time." (Cat, 1989)....... So I guess it wasn't made public in any form.

Ahhh, never heard that. If it's surfaced, which is probably hasn't, I've sure not heard of it.

"...Some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987 and the preceding evening when Prince went to the club Rupert’s. He asked the DJ to play the new album and observed the responses of the people in the club. That night he met Ingrid Chavez. She is a poet, singer, songwriter and nowadays wife of singer David Sylvian. The two went to Paisley Park and had an intense conversation..."

The Black Album - All info

FYI: She's no longer David Sylvian's wife.
