lyrics

The Upper Sun

Old men amble through the park
With hands held behind their backs
Or else they cast fishing lines
And reel in all the slack

Fortune tellers tilt their heads
To remember all the refrains
Pigeons perch on outstretched palms
And cards curl with the coming rain

You walk by with the afternoon
The upper sun in your hair

I recognize your face
Seen you here twice this week
Once in the crystal palace
Once near the almond trees
If I see you once again
I swear I’ll fall to my knees

Senegal men lean on iron
Rails of the rowboat lake
The saxophone marches in
With the dancing man in skates

Gypsy women carry rosemary
Pressed against their chests
Boys and girls roll around
For hours without a rest

You walk by with the afternoon
The upper sun in your hair

I recognize your face
Seen you here twice this week
Once by the fallen angel
Once near the library
If I see you here again
I swear I’ll fall to my knees
