This song is part of an ongoing 365 song calendar I'm slowly composing. It commemorates the date August 20th.
lyrics
I'm happy here in Jarry Park,
listening to people bark.
Barbecue smoke swaying through
the trees. And the cool earth calling,
calling me to my knees.
I'm happy here in Parc Jarry,
listening to people
be whatever they need to be right now.
And the cool earth,
the cool earth crooning:
lay your body down.
Light so thick
I must be swimming.
Clouds that bloom and disappear.
The sky is full of famous pigeons. Tonight
the moon it will be bald and clear.
And my love for
this world is steadily growing.
My love for this world
is as rough as my sewing:
too many colours
and too much thread too.
I get distracted,
I stitch uneven but
the needle passes
clear clean through.
