Sampan (with Laurence Juber) |
The sun is high, looking out I see |
The emptiness beyond the jetty |
Seagulls raining like confetti |
On the Water |
Sea and sky come together in |
A hazy kiss out on the ocean |
Europe seems a foreign notion |
Hardly thought of |
And would you leave your modern world behind? |
I know who I am |
Riding in my sampan |
In the shade stands the foreman in |
A floppy hat and linen suit |
Beneath his ancient leather boot |
The ground is straining |
Far away, figures bend to tap the |
Endless seas of rubber trees |
To coat the wheels of Paris taxis |
Where it’s raining |
And would you leave your melting world behind? |
I know who I am |
Riding in my sampan |
